find_vma() will continue to search upwards until the end of the virtual
memory space. This means the si_code would almost never be set to
SEGV_MAPERR even when the address falls outside of any VMA. The result
is that the si_code is not reliable as it may or may not be set to the
correct result, depending on where the address falls in the address
space.
Using find_vma_intersection() allows for what is intended by only
returning a VMA if it falls within the range provided, in this case a
window of 1.
