[PATCH 1/1] pgo: Fix allocate_node() handling of non-vmlinux nodes.

From: Jarmo Tiitto
Date: Tue Jun 01 2021 - 21:03:09 EST


Currently allocate_node() will reserve nodes even if *p
doesn't point into __llvm_prf_data_start - __llvm_prf_data_end
range.

Fix it by checking if p points into vmlinux range
and otherwise return NULL.
