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.
