[PATCH v4 1/5] um: Fix stub_start address calculation

From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg at intel.com>

The calculation was wrong as it only subtracted one and then rounded
down for alignment. However, this is incorrect if host_task_size is not
already aligned.

This probably worked fine because on 64 bit the host_task_size is bigger
than returned by os_get_top_address.
