    radix tree: Don't return retry entries from lookup · eff3860b

    Commit 66ee620f ("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.
