[PATCH 03/12] percpu: introduce helper to determine if two regions overlap

[Dennis Zhou]

While block hints were always accurate, it's possible when spanning
across blocks that we miss updating the chunk's contig_hint. Rather than
rely on correctness of the boundaries of hints, do a full overlap
comparison.
