Now for insert_vmalloc_vm, it only calls the two functions:
- setup_vmalloc_vm: fill vm_struct and vmap_area instances
- clear_vm_unlist: clear VM_UNLIST bit in vm_struct->flags
So in __get_vm_area_node(), if VM_UNLIST bit unset in flags, that is the
else branch here, we don't need to clear VM_UNLIST bit for vm->flags since
this bit is obviously not set. That is to say, we could only call
setup_vmalloc_vm instead of insert_vmalloc_vm here. And then we could
even remove the if test here.
