drm/i915/gem: Fix Virtual Memory mapping boundaries calculation
Calculating the size of the mapped area as the lesser value  between
the requested size and the actual size does not consider  the partial
mapping offset. This can cause page fault access.    Fix the
calculation of the starting and ending addresses, the  total size is
now deduced from the difference between the end and  start addresses.
Additionally, the calculations have been rewritten in a clearer  and
more understandable form.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
