mm: turn vmap_purge_lock into a mutex
The purge_lock spinlock causes high latencies with non RT kernel. This has been reported multiple times on lkml [1] [2] and affects applications like audio. This patch replaces it with a mutex to allow preemption while holding the lock. Thanks to Joel Fernandes for the detailed report and analysis as well as an earlier attempt at fixing this issue.
