Fuzzing produced an invalid argument to vma_merge() which was caught by
the newly added verification of the number of VMAs being removed on
process exit. Analyzing the failure eventually resulted in finding an
issue with the search of a VMA that started at address 0, which caused an
underflow and thus the loss of many VMAs being tracked in the tree. Fix
the underflow by changing the search of the maple tree to use the start
address directly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
