Thanks Naoya,

I am pretty sure the checks are necessary. You are correct in that
vma->vm_{end|start|pgoff} are unsigned long. However, pgoff can be
a REALLY big value that becomes negative when shifted.

Note that pgoff is simply the off_t offset value passed from the user cast
to unsigned long and shifted right by PAGE_SHIFT. There is nothing to
prevent a user from passing a 'signed' negative value. In the reproducer
provided, the value passed from user space is 0x8000000000000000ULL.
