It appears that ip ranges can overlap so. In that case lookup_rec()
returns whatever results it got last even if it found nothing in last
searched page.

This breaks an obscure livepatch late module patching usecase:
  - load livepatch
  - load the patched module
  - unload livepatch
  - try to load livepatch again

To fix this return from lookup_rec() as soon as it found the record
containing searched-for ip. This used to be this way prior lookup_rec()
introduction.

v2: break instead of two returns
Thanks Artem, I applied your patch. But just an FYI, it's best to place the
"v2" statement below the three dashes "---" so that it doesn't get pulled
into the git commit when this patch is applied via a script.
