[PATCH v2 0/2] Fix issues with vmalloc flush flag

[Rick Edgecombe]

These two patches address issues with the recently added
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS vmalloc flag. It is now split into two patches, which
made sense to me, but can split it further if desired.

Patch 1 is the most critical and addresses an issue that could cause a
crash on x86.

Patch 2 is to try to reduce the work done in the free operation to push
it to allocation time where it would be more expected. This shouldn't be
a big issue most of the time, but I thought it was slightly better.

v2->v3:
 - Split into two patches

v1->v2:
 - Update commit message with more detail
 - Fix flush end range on !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP case

Rick Edgecombe (2):
  vmalloc: Fix calculation of direct map addr range
  vmalloc: Remove work as from vfree path
