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.
