Commit 5803ed292e63a1bf ("mm: mark all calls into the vmalloc subsystem
as potentially sleeping") added might_sleep() to remove_vm_area() from
vfree(), and is causing

warning.

But commit f9e09977671b618a ("mm: turn vmap_purge_lock into a mutex") did
not make vfree() potentially sleeping because try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()
is still using mutex_trylock(). Thus, this is a false positive warning.

___might_sleep() via cond_resched_lock() in __purge_vmap_area_lazy() from
try_purge_vmap_area_lazy() from free_vmap_area_noflush() from
free_unmap_vmap_area() from remove_vm_area() which might trigger same
false positive warning is remaining. But so far we haven't heard about
warning from that path.
