Subject: [PATCH] mm/usercopy: Use memory range to be accessed for wraparound check

Currently, when checking to see if accessing n bytes starting at
address "ptr" will cause a wraparound in the memory addresses,
the check in check_bogus_address() adds an extra byte, which is
incorrect, as the range of addresses that will be accessed is
[ptr, ptr + (n - 1)].

This can lead to incorrectly detecting a wraparound in the
memory address, when trying to read 4 KB from memory that is
mapped to the the last possible page in the virtual address
space, when in fact, accessing that range of memory would not
cause a wraparound to occur.

Use the memory range that will actually be accessed when
considering if accessing a certain amount of bytes will cause
the memory address to wrap around.
