mm/mmap: regression fix for unmapped_area{_topdown}
commit
58c5d0d6d522112577c7eeb71d382ea642ed7be4 upstream.
The maple tree limits the gap returned to a window that specifically fits
what was asked. This may not be optimal in the case of switching search
directions or a gap that does not satisfy the requested space for other
reasons. Fix the search by retrying the operation and limiting the search
window in the rare occasion that a conflict occurs.
