lguest: fix __get_vm_area usage.
Robert Bragg's 5dc331852848a38ca00a2817e5b98a1d0561b116 tightened
(ie. fixed) the checking in __get_vm_area, and it broke lguest.
lguest should pass the exact "end" it wants, not some random constant
(it was possible previously that it would actually get an address
different from SWITCHER_ADDR).
Also, Fabio Checconi pointed out that we should make sure we're not
hitting the fixmap area.
