Chris Wilson 4da56b99d9 mm/vmap: Add a notifier for when we run out of vmap address space
vmaps are temporary kernel mappings that may be of long duration.
Reusing a vmap on an object is preferrable for a driver as the cost of
setting up the vmap can otherwise dominate the operation on the object.
However, the vmap address space is rather limited on 32bit systems and
so we add a notification for vmap pressure in order for the driver to
release any cached vmappings.

The interface is styled after the oom-notifier where the callees are
passed a pointer to an unsigned long counter for them to indicate if they
have freed any space.

v2: Guard the blocking notifier call with gfpflags_allow_blocking()
v3: Correct typo in forward declaration and move to head of file
