Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) ec5cf2977c XArray: Do not return sibling entries from xa_load()
commit cbc0285433 upstream.

It is possible for xa_load() to observe a sibling entry pointing to
another sibling entry.  An example:

Thread A:		Thread B:
			xa_store_range(xa, entry, 188, 191, gfp);
xa_load(xa, 191);
entry = xa_entry(xa, node, 63);
[entry is a sibling of 188]
			xa_store_range(xa, entry, 184, 191, gfp);
if (xa_is_sibling(entry))
offset = xa_to_sibling(entry);
entry = xa_entry(xas->xa, node, offset);
[entry is now a sibling of 184]

It is sufficient to go around this loop until we hit a non-sibling entry.
Sibling entries always point earlier in the node, so we are guaranteed
to terminate this search.
