The following sequence of calls would result in an infinite loop in
xa_find_after():
xa_store(xa, 0, x, GFP_KERNEL);
index = 0;
xa_for_each(xa, entry, index, ULONG_MAX, XA_PRESENT) { }
xa_find_after() was confusing the situation where we found no entry in
the tree with finding a multiorder entry, so it would look for the
successor entry forever. Just check for this case explicitly. Includes
a few new checks in the test suite to be sure this doesn't reappear.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
