Subject: mm/madvise: fix VMA_ITERATOR start position
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2023 08:58:09 -0500
The WARN_ON() in vma_iter_store() detected an invalid VMA iterator state.
Inspecting the code stack from the report shows that the VMA iterator is
never set to the correct start position.
Setting the initialization of the VMA iterator to use the address 'start'
fixes this issue.
