Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] mm/vmalloc: fix kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:512!

One of the vmalloc stress test case triggers the kernel BUG():

<snip>
[60.562151] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[60.562154] kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:512!
[60.562206] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
[60.562247] CPU: 0 PID: 430 Comm: vmalloc_test/0 Not tainted 4.20.0+ #161
[60.562293] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.10.2-1 04/01/2014
[60.562351] RIP: 0010:alloc_vmap_area+0x36f/0x390
<snip>

it can happen due to big align request resulting in overflowing
of calculated address, i.e. it becomes 0 after ALIGN()'s fixup.

Fix it by checking if calculated address is within vstart/vend
range.
