[RFC PATCH 8/8] mm/vmalloc: Stop scanning for compound pages after encountering small pages in vmap

[Barry Song (Xiaomi)]

Users typically allocate memory in descending orders, e.g.
8 → 4 → 0. Once an order-0 page is encountered, subsequent
pages are likely to also be order-0, so we stop scanning
for compound pages at that point.
