Nice catch.

Nit: We could maybe move this into root_size, size or even into the loop 
body below? Also no need to init.

We do seem to have a testcase for this at the bottom of 
drm_test_buddy_alloc_clear(), so either it is not triggering the 
WARN_ON() here in which case we should maybe improve that. Or it is, but 
kunit doesn't treat that as a test failure? Maybe we can call something 
like kunit_fail_current_test() here if that WARN_ON is triggered?

For reference our CI is just running all drm selftests with:

/kernel/tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kunitconfig 
/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/tests/.kunitconfig
