[PATCH] mm: Check we have the right vma in __access_remote_vm()

[Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>]

In __access_remote_vm() we need to check that we have found the right
vma, not the following vma, before we try to access it. Otherwise we
might call the vma's access routine with an address which does not
fall inside the vma.
