mm: search from free_area_cache for the bigger size

If the required size is bigger than cached_hole_size it is better to
search from free_area_cache - it is easier to get a free region,
specifically for the 64 bit process whose address space is large enough

Do it just as hugetlb_get_unmapped_area_topdown() in arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c
