ARM uses memory_contains() from its stacktrace code via this function:

 static inline bool in_entry_text(unsigned long addr)
 {
 	return memory_contains(__entry_text_start, __entry_text_end,
 			       (void *)addr, 1);
 }

addr is taken from the stack and can be a completely invalid.  If addr
is 0xffffffff, there is an overflow in the pointer arithmetic in
memory_contains() and in_entry_text() incorrectly returns true.

Fix this by adding an overflow check.  The check is done on unsigned
longs to avoid undefined behaviour.
