mm, vmalloc: only call setup_vmalloc_vm() only in __get_vm_area_node()
Now for insert_vmalloc_vm, it only calls the two functions: - setup_vmalloc_vm: fill vm_struct and vmap_area instances - clear_vm_unlist: clear VM_UNLIST bit in vm_struct->flags So in __get_vm_area_node(), if VM_UNLIST bit unset in flags, that is the else branch here, we don't need to clear VM_UNLIST bit for vm->flags since this bit is obviously not set. That is to say, we could only call setup_vmalloc_vm instead of insert_vmalloc_vm here. And then we could even remove the if test here.
