It's not a best fit though, it's an exact allocation request. The search
is to find the location in the free list where we need to insert the
node, and just as importantly reject the request if it would clobber an
earlier allocation.

The BUG_ON() is to be consistent with the rest of the code, and so there
isn't a conflict of interests when replacing all the common chunks with
drm_mm_for_each_hole().
