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 <[email protected]> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: "H.
