[PATCH] mm/kmemleak: Avoid scanning potential huge holes

[Lang Yu]

When using devm_request_free_mem_region() and
devm_memremap_pages() to add ZONE_DEVICE memory, if requested
free mem region pfn were huge(e.g., 0x0x400000000 ,we found
on some amd apus, amdkfd svm will request a such free mem region),
the node_end_pfn() will be also huge(see move_pfn_range_to_zone()).
It creates a huge hole between node_start_pfn() and node_end_pfn().

In such a case, following code snippet acctually was
just doing busy test_bit() looping on the huge hole.

for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn++) {
	struct page *page = pfn_to_online_page(pfn);
		if (!page)
			continue;
	...
}

So we got a soft lockup:

I did some tests with the patch.

(1) amdgpu module unloaded

before the patch:

real    0m0.976s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.968s

after the patch:

real    0m0.981s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.973s

(2) amdgpu module loaded

before the patch:

real    0m35.365s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m35.354s

after the patch:

real    0m1.049s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m1.042s
