In a rare case, flush_tlb_kernel_range() could be called with a start
higher than the end. Most architectures should be fine with with this, but
some may not like it, so avoid doing this.
In vm_remove_mappings(), in case page_address() returns 0 for all pages,
_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.
