Subject[13/17] Virtual compound page freeing in interrupt context
If we are in an interrupt context then simply defer the free via a workqueue.

In an interrupt context it is not possible to use vmalloc_addr() to determine
the vmalloc address. So add a variant that does that too.

Removing a virtual mappping *must* be done with interrupts enabled
since tlb_xx functions are called that rely on interrupts for
processor to processor communications.
