When finding VA in vn->busy, if VA spans several zones and the passed addr
is not the same as va->va_start, we should scan the vn in reverse odrdr
because the starting address of VA must be smaller than the passed addr if
it really resides in the VA.
E.g on a system nr_vmap_nodes=100,
<----va---->
-|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-
... n-1 n n+1 n+2 ... 100 0 1
VA resides in node 'n' whereas it spans 'n', 'n+1' and 'n+2'. If passed
addr is within 'n+2', we should try nodes backwards on 'n+1' and 'n', then
succeed very soon.
Meanwhile we still need loop around because VA could spans node from 'n'
to node 100, node 0, node 1.
Anyway, changing to find in reverse order can improve efficiency on many
CPUs system.

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 reStructuredText 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.
