mm: search from free_area_cache for the bigger size
If the required size is bigger than cached_hole_size it is better to search from free_area_cache - it is easier to get a free region, specifically for the 64 bit process whose address space is large enough Do it just as hugetlb_get_unmapped_area_topdown() in arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.
