[PATCH] vfio: fix VFIO_IOMMU_UNMAP_DMA when end of range would overflow u64

From: Alex Mastro

vfio_find_dma_first_node is called to find the first dma node to unmap
given an unmap range of [iova..iova+size). The check at the end of the
function intends to test if the dma result lies beyond the end of the
unmap range. The condition is incorrectly satisfied when iova+size
overflows to zero, causing the function to return NULL.

The same issue happens inside vfio_dma_do_unmap's while loop.

Fix by comparing to the inclusive range end, which can be expressed
by u64.

This bug was discovered after querying for vfio_iova_range's via
VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO, making a VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA inside the last range,
and then attempting to unmap the entirety of the last range i.e.
VFIO_IOMMU_UNMAP_DMA(iova=r.start, size=r.end-r.start+1).

I don't think iommufd is susceptible to the same issue since
iopt_unmap_iova computes the inclusive end using checked addition, and
iopt_unmap_iova_range acts on an inclusive range.
