The patch series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention" removes vmap_area_list,
which will break the gdb vmallocinfo command:

(gdb) lx-vmallocinfo
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: No symbol "vmap_area_list" in current context.
Error occurred in Python: No symbol "vmap_area_list" in current context.

So we can instead use vmap_nodes to iterate all vmallocinfo.
