Subject[PATCH 1/3] mm/vmalloc: simplify merge_or_add_vmap_area() func.
Date
Currently when a VA is deallocated and is about to be
placed back to the tree, it can be either: merged with
next/prev neighbors or inserted if not coalesced.

On those steps the tree can be populated several times.
For example when both neighbors are merged. It can be
avoided and simplified in fact.

Therefore do it only once when VA points to final merged
area, after all manipulations: merging/removing/inserting.
