From: Yuntao Wang <ytcoode@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: crash_core: optimize crash_exclude_mem_range()
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2023 00:34:18 +0800
Because memory ranges in mem->ranges are stored in ascending order, when
we detect `p_end < start`, we can break the for loop early, as the
subsequent memory ranges must also be outside the range we are looking
for.
