mm/mmap: regression fix for unmapped_area{_topdown}
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.
