[PATCH] mm: vmalloc: Use the vmap_area_lock to protect ne_fit_preload_node

[Daniel Wagner]

Replace preempt_enable() and preempt_disable() with the vmap_area_lock
spin_lock instead. Calling spin_lock() with preempt disabled is
illegal for -rt. Furthermore, enabling preemption inside the
spin_lock() doesn't really make sense.

Fixes: 82dd23e84be3 ("mm/vmalloc.c: preload a CPU with one object for
split purpose")
