It appears that ip ranges can overlap so. In that case lookup_rec()
returns whatever results it got last even if it found nothing in last
searched page.
This breaks an obscure livepatch late module patching usecase:
- load livepatch
- load the patched module
- unload livepatch
- try to load livepatch again
To fix this return from lookup_rec() as soon as it found the record
containing searched-for ip. This used to be this way prior lookup_rec()
introduction.
v2: break instead of two returns
