iova-tree expects inclusive range sizing when maps are allocated or searched.
Currently, svqs use exclusive sizing when searching their
vhost-iova-tree for a match to the region to be translated. This could
lead to errors if the region to be translated is at the edge of an iova
region.
Fix this by reducing `needle.size` by 1 in
vhost_svq_translate_addr to bring it in line with DMAMap and iova-tree
convention.
The only current user of svq->iova_tree is hw/virtio/vhost-vdpa.c, which
also treats size as inclusive when using the tree API. In progress work
on vhost-user isolation mode in hw/virtio.vhost-vdpa.c also uses
inclusive sizing when interacting with the tree.
This patch is an updated version of one from the patch series "vhost-user:
isolated memory". The patch has been isolated from the series as it
is not tightly coupled with the rest of the series.

If you need to respin, maybe we can be consistent and fix it.
Anyway with Akihiko's comments fixed:
