When allocating a new memory area where the mapping address range is known, it is observed that the vmap_node->busy.lock is acquired twice. The first acquisition occurs in the alloc_vmap_area() function when inserting the vm area into the vm mapping red-black tree. The second acquisition occurs in the setup_vmalloc_vm() function when updating the properties of the vm, such as flags and address, etc. Combine these two operations together in alloc_vmap_area(), which improves scalability when the vmap_node->busy.lock is contended. By doing so, the need to acquire the lock twice can also be eliminated to once. With the above change, tested on intel sapphire rapids platform(224 vcpu), a 4% performance improvement is gained on stress-ng/pthread(https://github.com/ColinIanKing/stress-ng), which is the stress test of thread creations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
