Subject: vmap: remove needless lock and list in vmap
From: MinChan Kim <minchan.kim@xxxxxxxxx>

vmap's dirty_list is unused.  It's for optimizing flushing.  but Nick
didn't write the code yet.  so, we don't need it until time as it is
needed.

This patch removes vmap_block's dirty_list and codes related to it.
