mm/vmalloc: eliminated the lock contention from twice to once
When allocating a new memory area where the mapping address range is
known, it is observed that the vmap_node->busy.lock is acquired twice.
The first acquisition occurs in the alloc_vmap_area() function when
inserting the vm area into the vm mapping red-black tree. The second
acquisition occurs in the setup_vmalloc_vm() function when updating the
properties of the vm, such as flags and address, etc.
Combine these two operations together in alloc_vmap_area(), which improves
scalability when the vmap_node->busy.lock is contended. By doing so, the
need to acquire the lock twice can also be eliminated to once.
With the above change, tested on intel sapphire rapids platform(224 vcpu),
a 4% performance improvement is gained on
stress-ng/pthread(https://github.com/ColinIanKing/stress-ng), which is the
stress test of thread creations.
