Deferred TLB invalidation will surely improve performance. But force
flush can help in detecting invalid access right then and there. I
chose later. May be I should have clean up the vmap tear down code
as well where it actually does the TLB invalidation.

Or make TLB invalidation in free_unmap_vmap_area() be dependent upon
debug_pagealloc_enabled().
