[PATCH 1/3] mm: refactor __vunmap() to avoid duplicated call to find_vm_area()

[Roman Gushchin <guroan@xxxxxxxxx>]

__vunmap() calls find_vm_area() twice without an obvious reason:
first directly to get the area pointer, second indirectly by calling
remove_vm_area(), which is again searching for the area.

To remove this redundancy, let's split remove_vm_area() into
__remove_vm_area(struct vmap_area *), which performs the actual area
removal, and remove_vm_area(const void *addr) wrapper, which can
be used everywhere, where it has been used before.

On my test setup, I've got up to 12% speed up on vfree()'ing 1000000
of 4-pages vmalloc blocks.
