__purge_vmap_area_lazy() is our bottleneck. The list of areas to be
drained can be quite big, so the process itself is time consuming.
That is why it is protected by the mutex instead of spinlock. Latency
issues.
I proposed to optimize it here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/7/815
I will send out the patch soon, but it is another topic not related
to this issue.
