mm/vmalloc: Avoid rare case of flushing TLB with weird arguments
In a rare case, flush_tlb_kernel_range() could be called with a start
higher than the end.
In vm_remove_mappings(), in case page_address() returns 0 for all pages
(for example they were all in highmem), _vm_unmap_aliases() will be
called with start = ULONG_MAX, end = 0 and flush = 1.
If at the same time, the vmalloc purge operation is triggered by something
else while the current operation is between remove_vm_area() and
_vm_unmap_aliases(), then the vm mapping just removed will be already
purged. In this case the call of vm_unmap_aliases() may not find any other
mappings to flush and so end up flushing start = ULONG_MAX, end = 0. So
only set flush = true if we find something in the direct mapping that we
need to flush, and this way this can't happen.
