Roman Pen cf725ce274 mm/vmalloc: occupy newly allocated vmap block just after allocation
Previous implementation allocates new vmap block and repeats search of a
free block from the very beginning, iterating over the CPU free list.

Why it can be better??

1. Allocation can happen on one CPU, but search can be done on another CPU.
   In worst case we preallocate amount of vmap blocks which is equal to
   CPU number on the system.

2. In previous patch I added newly allocated block to the tail of free list
   to avoid soon exhaustion of virtual space and give a chance to occupy
   blocks which were allocated long time ago.  Thus to find newly allocated
   block all the search sequence should be repeated, seems it is not efficient.

In this patch newly allocated block is occupied right away, address of
virtual space is returned to the caller, so there is no any need to repeat
the search sequence, allocation job is done.
