[PATCH] mm/vmalloc: use unbound workqueue for vmap area draining

[lirongqing]

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx>

The workqueue watchdog currently reports that drain_vmap_area_work
hogs the CPU for more than 10ms. This typically happens during heavy
memory pressure or high-frequency vmap/vunmap operations where the lazy
drain list grows large.

[ 2069.796205] workqueue: drain_vmap_area_work hogged CPU for >10000us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
[ 2192.823225] workqueue: drain_vmap_area_work hogged CPU for >10000us 5 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
[ 3225.388966] workqueue: drain_vmap_area_work hogged CPU for >10000us 7 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND

Since vmap area draining is a background housekeeping task that does
not require strict CPU affinity or cache locality, it is a prime
candidate for an unbound workqueue.

Switching from schedule_work() to queue_work(system_unbound_wq, ...)
allows the scheduler to offload the draining process to any available
CPU core. This prevents stalling the current CPU and resolves the
"consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND" warning.
