mm/vmalloc: dont purge usable blocks unnecessarily
Purging fragmented blocks is done unconditionally in several contexts: 1) From drain_vmap_area_work(), when the number of lazy to be freed vmap_areas reached the threshold 2) Reclaiming vmalloc address space from pcpu_get_vm_areas() 3) _vm_unmap_aliases() #1 There is no reason to zap fragmented vmap blocks unconditionally, simply because reclaiming all lazy areas drains at least 32MB * fls(num_online_cpus()) per invocation which is plenty. #2 Reclaiming when running out of space or due to memory pressure makes a lot of sense #3 _unmap_aliases() requires to touch everything because the caller has no clue which vmap_area used a particular page last and the vmap_area lost that information too. Except for the vfree + VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS case, which removes the vmap area first and then cares about the flush. That in turn requires a full walk of _all_ vmap areas including the one which was just added to the purge list. But as this has to be flushed anyway this is an opportunity to combine outstanding TLB flushes and do the housekeeping of purging freed areas, but like #1 there is no real good reason to zap usable vmap blocks unconditionally. Add a @force_purge argument to the newly split out block purge function and if not true only purge fragmented blocks which have less than 1/4 of their capacity left. Rename purge_vmap_area_lazy() to reclaim_and_purge_vmap_areas() to make it clear what the function does.
