[PATCH 2/3] mm/vmalloc: Add adjust_search_size parameter

[Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)]

From: Uladzislau Rezki <uladzislau.rezki@xxxxxxxx>

Extend the find_vmap_lowest_match() function with one more
parameter. It is "adjust_search_size" boolean variable, so
it is possible to control an accuracy of search block if a
specific alignment is required.

With this patch, a search size is always adjusted, to serve
a request as fast as possible because of performance reason.

But there is one exception though, it is short ranges where
requested size corresponds to passed vstart/vend restriction
together with a specific alignment request. In such scenario
an adjustment wold not lead to success allocation.
