This seems highly suspect - the smallest possible block size is 2MB so a
1MB unmap should not be affected by this path at all.

I'm guessing this is on Tegra with the workaround to force everything to
PAGE_SIZE? In the normal case a 2MB unmap should be nominally *faster*
than 4KB, since it would also be a single PTE, but with one fewer level
of table to walk to reach it. The 25% figure is rather misleading if
it's only a mitigation of an existing erratum workaround, and the actual
impact on the majority of non-broken systems is unmeasured.
(As an aside, I think that workaround itself is a bit broken, since at
least on Tegra234 with Cortex-A78, PAGE_SIZE could be 16KB which MMU-500
doesn't support.)

kvmalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC isn't valid. However, I'm not sure if there
isn't a more fundamental problem here - Rob, Boris; was it just the map
path, or would any allocation on unmap risk the GPU reclaim deadlock
thing as well?
Thanks,
Robin.
