mm: fix lazy vmap purging (use-after-free error)

I just got this new warning from kmemcheck:

It happened here:

    $ addr2line -e vmlinux -i c1096df7
    mm/vmalloc.c:540

Code:

	list_for_each_entry(va, &valist, purge_list)
		__free_vmap_area(va);

It's this instruction:

    mov    0x20(%ebx),%edx

Which corresponds to a dereference of va->purge_list.next:

    (gdb) p ((struct vmap_area *) 0)->purge_list.next
    Cannot access memory at address 0x20

It seems that we should use "safe" list traversal here, as the element
is freed inside the loop. Please verify that this is the right fix.
