From: "Isaac J. Manjarres" <isaacm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: 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.
