There is a dedicated and separate function that finds and removes a continuous kernel virtual area. As a final step it also releases the "area", a descriptor of corresponding vm_struct. Use free_vmap_area() in the __vmalloc_node_range() instead of open coded steps which are exactly the same, to perform a cleanup.
