[makedumpfile PATCH 1/2] Fix off-by-one errors in exclude_segment()

The crashed reserved memory end offset is the last address within
range, whereas the end offset in the pt_loads[] denotes the first
address past the range. This has caused a number of off-by-one
errors in exclude_segment().

First, let's unify the meaning of "end" to be the first out-of-range
address, i.e. start + size. Thanks to that, no +1 or -1 adjustments
are needed in exclude_segment().

Second, since the value read from /proc/iomem is the last address
within range, add one when passing it as an argument to
exclude_segment(). This is now the only adjustment by one.
