mm: vmalloc: remove a global vmap_blocks xarray

Browse Source 
A global vmap_blocks-xarray array can be contented under heavy usage of
the vm_map_ram()/vm_unmap_ram() APIs.  The lock_stat shows that a
"vmap_blocks.xa_lock" lock is a second in a top-list when it comes to
contentions:

that is a result of running vm_map_ram()/vm_unmap_ram() in
a loop. The test creates 64(on 64 CPUs system) threads and
each one maps/unmaps 1 page.

After this change the "xa_lock" can be considered as a noise
in the same test condition:

<snip>
...
&xa->xa_lock#1:         10333 10394 ...
  --------------
  &xa->xa_lock#1        5349      [<00000000bbbc9751>] xa_erase+0xe/0x30
  &xa->xa_lock#1        5045      [<0000000018def45d>] vm_map_ram+0x3a4/0x4f0
  --------------
  &xa->xa_lock#1        7326      [<0000000018def45d>] vm_map_ram+0x3a4/0x4f0
  &xa->xa_lock#1        3068      [<00000000bbbc9751>] xa_erase+0xe/0x30
...
<snip>

Running the test_vmalloc.sh run_test_mask=1024 nr_threads=64 nr_pages=5
shows around ~8 percent of throughput improvement of vm_map_ram() and
vm_unmap_ram() APIs.

This patch does not fix vmap_area_lock/free_vmap_area_lock and
purge_vmap_area_lock bottle-necks, it is rather a separate rework.

* XArray of vmap blocks, indexed by address, to quickly find a vmap block
* in the free path. Could get rid of this if we change the API to return a
* "cookie" from alloc, to be passed to free. But no big deal yet.
* In order to fast access to any "vmap_block" associated with a
* specific address, we use a hash.
*
* A per-cpu vmap_block_queue is used in both ways, to serialize
* an access to free block chains among CPUs(alloc path) and it
* also acts as a vmap_block hash(alloc/free paths). It means we
* overload it, since we already have the per-cpu array which is
* used as a hash table. When used as a hash a 'cpu' passed to
* per_cpu() is not actually a CPU but rather a hash index.
*
* A hash function is addr_to_vb_xarray() which hashes any address
* to a specific index(in a hash) it belongs to. This then uses a
* per_cpu() macro to access an array with generated index.
*
* An example:
*
* CPU_1 CPU_2 CPU_0
* | | |
* V V V
* 0 10 20 30 40 50 60
* |------|------|------|------|------|------|...<vmap address space>
* CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
*
* - CPU_1 invokes vm_unmap_ram(6), 6 belongs to CPU0 zone, thus
* it access: CPU0/INDEX0 -> vmap_blocks -> xa_lock;
*
* - CPU_2 invokes vm_unmap_ram(11), 11 belongs to CPU1 zone, thus
* it access: CPU1/INDEX1 -> vmap_blocks -> xa_lock;
*
* - CPU_0 invokes vm_unmap_ram(20), 20 belongs to CPU2 zone, thus
* it access: CPU2/INDEX2 -> vmap_blocks -> xa_lock.
*
* This technique almost always avoids lock contention on insert/remove,
* however xarray spinlocks protect against any contention that remains.
