The patchset contains few changes to the vmalloc code, which are
leading to some performance gains and code simplification.

Also, it exports a number of pages, used by vmalloc(),
in /proc/meminfo.

Patch (1) removes some redundancy on __vunmap().
Patch (2) separates memory allocation and data initialization
  in alloc_vmap_area()
Patch (3) adds vmalloc counter to /proc/meminfo.

RFC->v1:
  - removed bogus empty lines (suggested by Matthew Wilcox)
  - made nr_vmalloc_pages static (suggested by Matthew Wilcox)
  - dropped patch 3 from RFC patchset, will post later with
  some other changes
  - dropped RFC

  mm: refactor __vunmap() to avoid duplicated call to find_vm_area()
  mm: separate memory allocation and actual work in alloc_vmap_area()
  mm: show number of vmalloc pages in /proc/meminfo

__vunmap() calls find_vm_area() twice without an obvious reason:
first directly to get the area pointer, second indirectly by calling
remove_vm_area(), which is again searching for the area.

To remove this redundancy, let's split remove_vm_area() into
__remove_vm_area(struct vmap_area *), which performs the actual area
removal, and remove_vm_area(const void *addr) wrapper, which can
be used everywhere, where it has been used before.

On my test setup, I've got up to 12% speed up on vfree()'ing 1000000
of 4-pages vmalloc blocks.

alloc_vmap_area() is allocating memory for the vmap_area, and
performing the actual lookup of the vm area and vmap_area
initialization.

This prevents us from using a pre-allocated memory for the map_area
structure, which can be used in some cases to minimize the number
of required memory allocations.

Let's keep the memory allocation part in alloc_vmap_area() and
separate everything else into init_vmap_area().

Vmalloc() is getting more and more used these days (kernel stacks,
bpf and percpu allocator are new top users), and the total %
of memory consumed by vmalloc() can be pretty significant
and changes dynamically.

/proc/meminfo is the best place to display this information:
its top goal is to show top consumers of the memory.

Since the VmallocUsed field in /proc/meminfo is not in use
for quite a long time (it has been defined to 0 by the
commit a5ad88ce8c7f ("mm: get rid of 'vmalloc_info' from
/proc/meminfo")), let's reuse it for showing the actual
physical memory consumption of vmalloc().

These slipped through the cracks. +CC Andrew directly.
Andrew, if it's not too late yet, could you consider them for 5.1?

There's been some activity in vmalloc.c lately and these have
bitrotted.  They'll need a redo, please.

__vunmap() calls find_vm_area() twice without an obvious reason:
first directly to get the area pointer, second indirectly by calling
remove_vm_area(), which is again searching for the area.

To remove this redundancy, let's split remove_vm_area() into
__remove_vm_area(struct vmap_area *), which performs the actual area
removal, and remove_vm_area(const void *addr) wrapper, which can
be used everywhere, where it has been used before.

On my test setup, I've got 5-10% speed up on vfree()'ing 1000000
of 4-pages vmalloc blocks.

Perf report before:
  22.64%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] free_pcppages_bulk
  10.30%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __vunmap
   9.80%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] find_vmap_area
   8.11%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] vunmap_page_range
   4.20%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __slab_free
   3.56%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __list_del_entry_valid
   3.46%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] smp_call_function_many
   3.33%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] kfree
   3.32%  cat      [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] free_unref_page

Perf report after:
  23.01%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] free_pcppages_bulk
   9.46%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __vunmap
   9.15%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] vunmap_page_range
   6.17%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __slab_free
   5.61%  cat      [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] kfree
