[PATCH v2] mm/mseal: update VMA end correctly on merge

["Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)" <ljs@kernel.org>]

Previously we stored the end of the current VMA in curr_end, and then upon
iterating to the next VMA updated curr_start to curr_end to advance to the
next VMA.

However, this doesn't take into account the fact that a VMA might be
updated due to a merge by vma_modify_flags(), which can result in curr_end
being stale and thus, upon setting curr_start to curr_end, ending up with
an incorrect curr_start on the next iteration.

Resolve the issue by setting curr_end to vma->vm_end unconditionally to
ensure this value remains updated should this occur.

While we're here, eliminate this entire class of bug by simply setting
const curr_[start/end] to be clamped to the input range and VMAs, which
also happens to simplify the logic.
