[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 5-10% speed up on vfree()'ing 1000000
of 4-pages vmalloc blocks.

Perf report before:
  22.64%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] free_pcppages_bulk
  10.30%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __vunmap
   9.80%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] find_vmap_area
   8.11%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] vunmap_page_range
   4.20%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __slab_free
   3.56%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __list_del_entry_valid
   3.46%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] smp_call_function_many
   3.33%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] kfree
   3.32%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] free_unref_page

Perf report after:
  23.01%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] free_pcppages_bulk
   9.46%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __vunmap
   9.15%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] vunmap_page_range
   6.17%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __slab_free
   5.61%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kfree
   4.86%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] bad_range
   4.67%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] free_unref_page_commit
   4.24%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __list_del_entry_valid
   3.68%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] free_unref_page
   3.65%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __list_add_valid
   3.19%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __purge_vmap_area_lazy
   3.10%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] find_vmap_area
   3.05%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] rcu_cblist_dequeue
