This kind of makes sense to me but I am not sure. We also have another
instance of this inside the function vm_unmap_ram() where we call for
debug on locks without even finding the vmap_area first. But it is true
that in both these functions the vmap_area gets freed eventually. Hence
the entire mapping [va->va_start --> va->va_end] gets unmapped. Sounds
like these debug functions should have the entire range as argument.
But I am not sure and will seek Michal's input on this.
