Subject: mm/vmalloc: refactor the preloading loagic

Instead of keeping open-coded style, move the code related to preloading
into a separate function.  Therefore introduce the preload_this_cpu_lock()
routine that prelaods a current CPU with one extra vmap_area object.

There is no functional change as a result of this patch.
