Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix overlap check in hardened usercopy

When running with a local patch which moves the '_stext' symbol to the
very beginning of the kernel text area, I got the following panic with
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY:

  usercopy: kernel memory exposure attempt detected from ffff88103dfff000 (<linear kernel text>) (4096 bytes)

The checked object's range [ffff88103dfff000, ffff88103e000000) is
valid, so there shouldn't have been a BUG.  The hardened usercopy code
got confused because the range's ending address is the same as the
kernel's text starting address at 0xffff88103e000000.  The overlap check
is slightly off.
