[PATCH 04/10] mm: add vfree_atomic()

[Christoph Hellwig]

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We are going to use sleeping lock for freeing vmap. However some
vfree() users want to free memory from atomic (but not from interrupt)
context. For this we add vfree_atomic() - deferred variation of vfree()
which can be used in any atomic context (except NMIs).
