Subject: mm: vmalloc: avoid racy handling of debugobjects in vunmap
Currently, __vunmap flow is,
1) Release the VM area
2) Free the debug objects corresponding to that vm area.
This leave some race window open.
1) Release the VM area
1.5) Some other client gets the same vm area
1.6) This client allocates new debug objects on the same
vm area
2) Free the debug objects corresponding to this vm area.
Here, we actually free 'other' client's debug objects.
Fix this by freeing the debug objects first and then releasing the VM
area.
