This fixes a memory hot plugging bug that I was seeing on 5.10, with the
introduction of 58284a901b42.

We're ignoring the portion from the linear mapping's start PA to the
point of wraparound. Could the start and end of the hot plugged memory
fall within this range and, as a result, the hot plug operation be
incorrectly blocked?
