The commit fcf8dda8cc48 ("arm64: pageattr: Explicitly bail out when changing
permissions for vmalloc_huge mappings") made permission update for
partial range more robust. But the linear mapping permission update
still assumes update the whole range by iterating from the first page
all the way to the last page of the area.
Make it more robust by updating the linear mapping permission from the
page mapped by start address, and update the number of numpages.
Fixes: fcf8dda8cc48 ("arm64: pageattr: Explicitly bail out when changing permissions for vmalloc_huge mappings")
