In the last version I tried to solve this problem by using interval tree
(just like existing hva_tree), but finally we realized that in one VM we
can have multiple fds with overlapped offsets so that approach is
incorrect. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/12/28/480 for the discussion.

So linear scan is used before I can find a better way.
