Patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements", v2. These changes were made from code inspection in mm/vmalloc.c. This patch (of 5): Static variable 'purge_ndoes' is defined in global scope, while it's only used in function __purge_vmap_area_lazy(). It mainly serves to avoid memory allocation repeatedly, especially when NR_CPUS is big. While a local static variable can also satisfy the demand, and can improve code readibility. Hence move its definition into __purge_vmap_area_lazy().

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 reStructuredText 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.
