We allow userspace to poison the drm_mm at roughly 8K intervals, a
search space of 35b with typically O(N^2) behaviour and each node
traversal (rb_next/rb_prev) will itself be costly. Even our simple tests
can generate a search of several minutes before our patience runs out.o
Any drm_mm that allows for userspace to control alignment can be
arbitrarily fragmented, hence a raised eyebrow that this search would be
allowed in atomic context.
