NeilBrown e38b3f2005 SUNRPC: don't pause on incomplete allocation
alloc_pages_bulk_array() attempts to allocate at least one page based on
the provided pages, and then opportunistically allocates more if that
can be done without dropping the spinlock.

So if it returns fewer than requested, that could just mean that it
needed to drop the lock.  In that case, try again immediately.

Only pause for a time if no progress could be made.

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.
