From: Rick Edgecombe <redgecombe.l...@gmail.com>
Calling vm_unmap_alias() in vm_remove_mappings() could potentially be a
lot of work to do on a free operation. Simply flushing the TLB instead of
the whole vm_unmap_alias() operation makes the frees faster and pushes
the heavy work to happen on allocation where it would be more expected.
In addition to the extra work, vm_unmap_alias() takes some locks including
a long hold of vmap_purge_lock, which will make all other
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS vfrees wait while the purge operation happens.
Lastly, page_address() can involve locking and lookups on some
configurations, so skip calling this by exiting out early when
!CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP.
