mm/mmap: regression fix for unmapped_area{_topdown}
commit 58c5d0d6d522112577c7eeb71d382ea642ed7be4 upstream.
The maple tree limits the gap returned to a window that specifically fits
what was asked. This may not be optimal in the case of switching search
directions or a gap that does not satisfy the requested space for other
reasons. Fix the search by retrying the operation and limiting the search
window in the rare occasion that a conflict occurs.

While fixing a BUG, a new BUG is introduced, causing MAP_32BIT to fail to work sometimes, and Xilinx's Digilent driver uses this parameter, causing mmap to fail and unable to recognize the FPGA.
The new BUG has been fixed in [PATCH v2] maple_tree: Make maple state reusable after mas_empty_area().
