There is round twice in memblock_add_range(). The first counts the number
of regions needed to accommodate the new area. The second actually inserts
them. But the first round isn't really needed, we just need to check the
counts before inserting them.
Check the count before calling memblock_insert_region(). If the count is
equal to the maximum value, it needs to resize the array. Otherwise,
insert it directly.
To avoid nested calls to memblock_add_range(), we need to call
memblock_reserve() out of memblock_double_array().

memblock_add_range() does an extra loop once in a while, but I don't think
removing it will have any actual effect on the boot time.

Yes, it has no obvious actual effect on the boot time, but it does
reduce the number of unnecessary loop.
The actual effect on the boot time should not be the only criterion for
whether a patch is accepted or not.
Since the comment in the previous code, it tells the user that it would
be executed twice, this can be
misleading to users.
So the new code will be simpler and clearer. It not just change the
code, but also remove the comment
about "executed twice", it obviously tells the user only resize the
array if it is equal to the maximum value
and doesn't need to be executed twice.

Adding return-by-pointer parameters to memblock_double_array() and pulling
memblock_reserve() out of this function is in no way simpler and clearer
that having an extra loop.
If the comment is wrong, just fix the comment.

If memblock_reserve() in memblock_double_array(), there will be nested
calls to memblock_add_range().
memblock_add_range(A)->memblock_double_array(A)->memblock_reserve(B)->memblock_add_range(B)
->memblock_insert_region(B)->memblock_merge_regions(B)->memblock_insert_region(A)->memblock_merge_regions(A)
It's hard to see that and debug.
If memblock_reserve() out of memblock_double_array(), there wouldn't
have a nested calls.
memblock_add_range(A)->memblock_double_array(A)->memblock_insert_region(A)->memblock_merge_regions(A)->
memblock_reserve(B)->memblock_add_range(B)->memblock_insert_region(B)->memblock_merge_regions(B)
We should make memblock_add_range is done, and do another
memblock_add_range.
