mm/mmap: free vm_area_struct without call_rcu in exit_mmap

call_rcu() can take a long time when callback offloading is enabled.  Its
use in the vm_area_free can cause regressions in the exit path when
multiple VMAs are being freed.

Because exit_mmap() is called only after the last mm user drops its
refcount, the page fault handlers can't be racing with it.  Any other
possible user like oom-reaper or process_mrelease are already synchronized
using mmap_lock.  Therefore exit_mmap() can free VMAs directly, without
the use of call_rcu().

Expose __vm_area_free() and use it from exit_mmap() to avoid possible
call_rcu() floods and performance regressions caused by it.
