decay_va_pool_node() can be invoked concurrently from two paths:
__purge_vmap_area_lazy() when pools are being purged, and the shrinker via
vmap_node_shrink_scan().
However, decay_va_pool_node() is not safe to run concurrently, and the
shrinker path currently lacks serialization, leading to races and possible
leaks.
Protect decay_va_pool_node() by taking vmap_purge_lock in the shrinker
path to ensure serialization with purge users.
