Note that 'nr' is either equal to ->nr_free - in which case we consume
the entire 'pgarr' vaddr array such that the next call to cr_pgarr_prep()
will get a fresh one, or is smaller than ->nr_free - in which case that
is the last iteration of the loop anyhow, so it won't be clobbered.

Also, after we return - our caller, cr_vma_read_pages(), resets the state
of the page-array chain by calling cr_pgarr_reset().
