The worst case is that the new memory range overlaps all existing regions, which requires type->cnt + 1 empty struct memblock_region slots in the type->regions array. So if type->cnt + 1 + type->cnt is less than type->max, we can insert regions directly rather than calculate the needed amount before the insertion. And becase of merge operation in the end of function, tpye->cnt will increase slowly for many cases. This change allows to avoid unnecessary repeat of memblock ranges traversal for many cases when adding new memory range.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
