Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm/ttm: swap consecutive allocated cached pages v2

When we detect consecutive allocation of pages swap them to avoid accidentally freeing them as huge page.

v2: use swap

How about add first index as below?

		first = i;  //init  first here
		while (npages) {
			p = alloc_page(gfp_flags);
			if (!p) {
				pr_debug("Unable to allocate page\n");
				return -ENOMEM;
			}
			
			/* Swap the pages if we detect consecutive order */
			if (i > first && pages[i - 1] == p - 1)                                          //change to (i > first), because I worry if npages is 513, the first regular page is exactly consecutive with last page of huge page. Then swap them is not what I want here.
				swap(p, pages[i - 1]);

			pages[i++] = p;
			--npages;
		}

 			pages[i++] = p;
 			--npages;
 		}
