[GIT PULL v1 6/7] stm class: Fix an endless loop in channel allocation

[Alexander Shishkin]

From: Zhi Jin <zhi.jin@xxxxxxxxx>

There is a bug in the channel allocation logic that leads to an endless
loop when looking for a contiguous range of channels in a range with a
mixture of free and occupied channels. For example, opening three
consequtive channels, closing the first two and requesting 4 channels in
a row will trigger this soft lockup. The bug is that the search loop
forgets to skip over the range once it detects that one channel in that
range is occupied.

Restore the original intent to the logic by fixing the omission.
