Matthew Wilcox eff3860bbf radix tree: Don't return retry entries from lookup 
Commit 66ee620f06 ("idr: Permit any valid kernel pointer to be stored")
changed the radix tree lookup so that it stops when reaching the bottom
of the tree.  However, the condition was added in the wrong place,
making it possible to return retry entries to the caller.  Reorder the
tests to check for the retry entry before checking whether we're at the
bottom of the tree.  The retry entry should never be found in the tree
root, so it's safe to defer the check until the end of the loop.

Add a regression test to the test-suite to be sure this doesn't come
back.

README 

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.
