When alloc fails, free_table is being called. Depending on the number of
bytes requested, we determine if we are going to call _get_free_page()
or kmalloc(). When alloc fails, our math is wrong (due to sg_size - 1),
and the last buffer is wrongfully assumed to have been allocated by
kmalloc. Hence, kfree gets called and a panic occurs.

Commit ebf8aa44beed48cd17893a83d92a4403e5f9d9e2 ("radix-tree:
omplement function radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged") does not safely
set tags on on intermediate tree nodes. The code walks down the tree
setting tags before it has fully resolved the path to the leaf under
the assumption there will be a leaf slot with the tag set in the
range it is searching.

Unfortunately, this is not a valid assumption - we can abort after
setting a tag on an intermediate node if we overrun the number of
tags we are allowed to set in a batch, or stop scanning because we
we have passed the last scan index before we reach a leaf slot with
the tag we are searching for set.

As a result, we can leave the function with tags set on intemediate
nodes which can be tripped over later by tag-based lookups. The
result of these stale tags is that lookup may end prematurely or
livelock because the lookup cannot make progress.

The fix for the problem involves reocrding the traversal path we
take to the leaf nodes, and only propagating the tags back up the
tree once the tag is set in the leaf node slot. We are already
recording the path for efficient traversal, so there is no
additional overhead to do the intermediately node tag setting in
this manner.

This fixes a radix tree lookup livelock triggered by the new
writeback sync livelock avoidance code introduced in commit
f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement writeback
livelock avoidance using page tagging").

Commit f446daaea9d4a420d16c606f755f3689dcb2d0ce ("mm: implement
writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging") introduced a new
radix tree tag, increasing the number of tags in each node from 2 to
3. It did not, however, fix up the code in
radix_tree_node_rcu_free() that cleans up after radix_tree_shrink()
and hence could leave stray tags set in the new tag array.

The result is that the livelock avoidance code added in the the
above commit would hit stale tags when doing tag based lookups,
resulting in livelocks when trying to traverse the tree.

Fix this problem in radix_tree_node_rcu_free() so it doesn't happen
again in the future by using a loop to walk all the tags up to
RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS to clear the stray tags radix_tree_shrink()
leaves behind.

When radix_tree_maxindex() is ~0UL, it can happen that scanning overflows
index and tree traversal code goes astray reading memory until it hits
unreadable memory.  Check for overflow and exit in that case.
