if sync:
o I can wait for other purge in progress
(do not care if purge_lock is dropped)
o purge fragmented blocks
if force_flush:
o even nothing to purge, flush TLB, which is costly.

what is still left is waiting on vmap_area_lock for !sync mode.
but probably is not that bad.

When mixing lots of vmallocs and set_memory_*() (which calls
vm_unmap_aliases()) I encountered situations where the performance
degraded severely due to the walking of the entire vmap_area list each
invocation. One simple improvement is to add the lazily freed vmap_area
to a separate lockless free list, such that we then avoid having to walk
the full list on each purge.
v2: Remove unused VM_LAZY_FREE and VM_LAZY_FREEING flags and reorder
access of vmap_area during addition to the lazy free list to avoid
use-after free (Roman).
