validate_addr() function checks whether the address returned by mmap()
lies in the low or high VA space, according to whether a high addr hint
was passed or not. The fix commit mentioned below changed the code in
such a way that this function will always return failure when passed
high_addr == 1; addr will be >= HIGH_ADDR_MARK always, we will fall
down to "if (addr < HIGH_ADDR_MARK)" and return failure. Fix this.

Fixes: d1d86ce28d0f ("selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: conform to TAP format output")

LGTM, the logic corresponds to the way we would handle it pre d1d86ce28d0f
