Let's consider the case that the 1st entry in an array is broken, but
n-th entry is valid. Then, if generic_array_get() is called to read
n-th object, the offset of the broken entry is cached by the function.
If generic_array_bisect() is followed, even if the matching entry is
valid, it always fail with -EBADMSG or friends, as the function test the
cached entry at the beginnning. Let's ignore the failure in testing the
cached entry.
