[PATCH-next 4/5] mm/vmalloc: refactor the preloading loagic

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Fri Apr 02 2021 - 16:23:32 EST


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.
