_vunmap_aliases() walks the per CPU xarrays to find partially unmapped
blocks and then walks the per cpu free lists to purge fragmented blocks.
Arguably that's waste of CPU cycles and cache lines as the full xarray
walk already touches every block.
Avoid this double iteration:
- Split out the code to purge one block and the code to free the local
purge list into helper functions.
- Try to purge the fragmented blocks in the xarray walk before looking at
their dirty space.

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 Restructured Text 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.
