[Arun] yes it checks the list empty status, I will remove 'if (!block)'
check

[Arun] ok, I will check for the allocation status and return -EINVAL if
the block is not allocated.

[Arun] This function gets called for non-range allocations (0..max_size)
as well on contiguous allocation. alloc_range() is called only for range
allocations.

[Arun] we are adding back to the original list if contains() check
becomes true. we are adding all the blocks within the actual_start and
actual_end, and remaining blocks are freed (added to free list).
