Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] hugetlg: Break earlier in add_reservation_in_range() when we can

All the regions maintained in hugetlb reserved map is inclusive on "from" but
exclusive on "to".  We can break earlier even if rg->from==t because it already
means no possible intersection.

This does not need a Fixes in all cases because when it happens (rg->from==t)
we'll not break out of the loop while we should, however the next thing we'd do
is still add the last file_region we'd need and quit the loop in the next
round.  So this change is not a bugfix (since the old code should still run
okay iiuc), but we'd better still touch it up to make it logically sane.
