A current "lazy drain" model suffers from at least two issues.
First one is related to the unsorted list of vmap areas, thus in order to
identify the [min:max] range of areas to be drained, it requires a full
list scan. What is a time consuming if the list is too long.
Second one and as a next step is about merging all fragments with a free
space. What is also a time consuming because it has to iterate over
entire list which holds outstanding lazy areas.
See below the "preemptirqsoff" tracer that illustrates a high latency. It
is ~24676us. Our workloads like audio and video are effected by such long
latency:

To address those two issues we can redesign a purging of the outstanding
lazy areas. Instead of queuing vmap areas to the list, we replace it by
the separate rb-tree. In hat case an area is located in the tree/list in
ascending order. It will give us below advantages:
a) Outstanding vmap areas are merged creating bigger coalesced blocks,
thus it becomes less fragmented.
b) It is possible to calculate a flush range [min:max] without scanning
all elements. It is O(1) access time or complexity;
c) The final merge of areas with the rb-tree that represents a free
space is faster because of (a). As a result the lock contention is
also reduced.
