Subject: [PATCH 03/10] mm: refactor __purge_vmap_area_lazy

Move the purge_lock synchronization to the callers, move the call to
purge_fragmented_blocks_allcpus at the beginning of the function to
the callers that need it, move the force_flush behavior to the caller
that needs it, and pass start and end by value instead of by reference.

No change in behavior.
