Pass "end - 1" instead of "end" when walking the interval tree in
hugetlb_vmdelete_list() to fix an inclusive vs. exclusive bug. The two
callers that pass a non-zero "end" treat it as exclusive, whereas the
interval tree iterator expects an inclusive "last". E.g. punching a
hole in a file that precisely matches the size of a single hugepage,
with a vma starting right on the boundary, will result in
unmap_hugepage_range() being called twice, with the second call having
start==end.
The off-by-one error doesn't cause functional problems as
__unmap_hugepage_range() turns into a massive nop due to
short-circuiting its for-loop on "address < end". But, the mmu_notifier
invocations to invalid_range_{start,end}() are passed a bogus zero-sized
range, which may be unexpected behavior for secondary MMUs.
