mm/vmalloc: prevent flushing dirty space over and over
vmap blocks which have active mappings cannot be purged. Allocations which have been freed are accounted for in vmap_block::dirty_min/max, so that they can be detected in _vm_unmap_aliases() as potentially stale TLBs. If there are several invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() then each of them will flush the dirty range. That's pointless and just increases the probability of full TLB flushes. Avoid that by resetting the flush range after accounting for it. That's safe versus other invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() because this is all serialized with vmap_purge_lock.
