XArray: Do not return sibling entries from xa_load()
It is possible for xa_load() to observe a sibling entry pointing to another sibling entry. An example: Thread A: Thread B: xa_store_range(xa, entry, 188, 191, gfp); xa_load(xa, 191); entry = xa_entry(xa, node, 63); [entry is a sibling of 188] xa_store_range(xa, entry, 184, 191, gfp); if (xa_is_sibling(entry)) offset = xa_to_sibling(entry); entry = xa_entry(xas->xa, node, offset); [entry is now a sibling of 184] It is sufficient to go around this loop until we hit a non-sibling entry. Sibling entries always point earlier in the node, so we are guaranteed to terminate this search.
