Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] tracing: Use vmap_page_range() to map memmap ring buffer

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The code to map the physical memory retrieved by memmap currently
allocates an array of pages to cover the physical memory and then calls
vmap() to map it to a virtual address. Instead of using this temporary
array of struct page descriptors, simply use vmap_page_range() that can
directly map the contiguous physical memory to a virtual address.
