I realize it's my fault, I use GFP_KERNEL to initialize the radix tree.
radix_tree_node_alloc does not use pre-loaded memory when the
radix tree is initialized with GFP_KERNEL. Yesterday when I saw the
Oops, I suspect it's an radix_tree_preload bug. I told Zhu Yanhai
my thought. Please forgive my rash act.
