OK. I was checking the sources of the 5.19 kernel that is why i did not
see how vb->va can be accessed twice. Indeed on the 5.4 kernel there was
a bug and it was fixed in the v5.13-rc1.

commit ad216c0316ad6391d90f4de0a7f59396b2925a06
Author: Vijayanand Jitta <vjitta@...eaurora.org>

    mm: vmalloc: prevent use after free in _vm_unmap_aliases
    
    A potential use after free can occur in _vm_unmap_aliases where an already
    freed vmap_area could be accessed, Consider the following scenario:
    
    Process 1                                               Process 2
    
    __vm_unmap_aliases                                      __vm_unmap_aliases
            purge_fragmented_blocks_allcpus                         rcu_read_lock()
                    rcu_read_lock()
                            list_del_rcu(&vb->free_list)
                                                                            list_for_each_entry_rcu(vb .. )
            __purge_vmap_area_lazy
                    kmem_cache_free(va)
                                                                                    va_start = vb->va->va_start
    
    Here Process 1 is in purge path and it does list_del_rcu on vmap_block and
    later frees the vmap_area, since Process 2 was holding the rcu lock at
    this time vmap_block will still be present in and Process 2 accesse it and
    thereby it tries to access vmap_area of that vmap_block which was already
    freed by Process 1 and this results in use after free.
    
    Fix this by adding a check for vb->dirty before accessing vmap_area
    structure since vb->dirty will be set to VMAP_BBMAP_BITS in purge path
    checking for this will prevent the use after free.
