Is it necessary to have drain_vmap_work_in_progress?  The documentation
says:

 * This puts a job in the kernel-global workqueue if it was not already
 * queued and leaves it in the same position on the kernel-global
 * workqueue otherwise.

and the implementation seems to use test_and_set_bit() to ensure this
is true.
