We might still get warnings though.

If I disable preemption, then call vfree(), in_interrupt() will not be
true (I've only incremented preempt_count()), then __vunmap() calls
remove_vm_area() which calls might_sleep(), which will warn.

So I think this check needs to change from in_interrupt() to in_atomic().
