Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] mm/vmalloc.c: Add an error message if two areas overlap

Before triggering a BUG() it would be useful to understand
how two areas overlap between each other. Print information
about start/end addresses of both VAs and their addresses.

For example if both are identical it could mean double free.
