Subject: [RHEL6.8 Patch 09/19] vmalloc: make find_vm_area check in range

    vmalloc: make find_vm_area check in range

    Currently, __find_vmap_area searches for the kernel VM area starting at
    a given address.  This patch changes this behavior so that it searches
    for the kernel VM area to which the address belongs.  This change is
    needed by remap_vmalloc_range_partial to be introduced in later patch
    that receives any position of kernel VM area as target address.

    This patch changes the condition (addr > va->va_start) to the equivalent
    (addr >= va->va_end) by taking advantage of the fact that each kernel VM
    area is non-overlapping.
