[PATCH] mm/mempolicy: Fix mbind_range() arguments to vma_merge()

Fuzzing produced an invalid argument to vma_merge() which was caught
by the newly added verification of the number of VMAs being removed on
process exit.  Analyzing the failure eventually resulted in finding an
issue with the search of a VMA that started at address 0, which caused
an underflow and thus the loss of many VMAs being tracked in the tree.
Fix the underflow by changing the search of the maple tree to use the
start address directly.
