Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/mmap: Regression fix for unmapped_area{_topdown}

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.

v1 changes:
 - Add comment about avoiding prev check
 - Remove check for VM_GROWSUP on prev since vm_end_gap() does this
