[PATCH 1/2] mm: vmalloc: Avoid a double lookup of freed VA in a tree

["Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@xxxxxxxxx>]

When a VA is freed over a main path, for example by invoking
the vfree() function, a tree is accessed two times what is odd:

vfree():
  __vunmap()
    __find_vmap_area()
  vm_remove_mappings()
    remove_vm_area()
      __find_vmap_area()

__find_vmap_area() are called two times. Fix it by introducing
a find_unlink_vmap_area() helper that finds and un-links a VA
from a tree.

Performance test results on a single CPU:

- fix_size_alloc_test       loops: 1000000 avg: 476847   usec
- full_fit_alloc_test       loops: 1000000 avg: 806746   usec
- long_busy_list_alloc_test loops: 1000000 avg: 13552093 usec
- random_size_alloc_test    loops: 1000000 avg: 7441322  usec
- fix_align_alloc_test      loops: 1000000 avg: 1411132  usec
All test took worker0=87650866284 cycles
