[PATCH] mm/vmalloc: reduce half comparison during pcpu_get_vm_areas()

[Wei Yang]

In pcpu_get_vm_areas(), it checks each range is not overlapped. To make
sure it is, only (N^2)/2 comparison is necessary, while current code does
N^2 times. By starting from the next range, it achieves the goal and the
continue could be removed.

At the mean time, other two work in this patch:
*  the overlap check of two ranges could be done with one clause
*  one typo in comment is fixed.
