find_vma() will continue to search upwards until the end of the virtual
memory space.  This means the si_code would almost never be set to
SEGV_MAPERR even when the address falls outside of any VMA.  The result
is that the si_code is not reliable as it may or may not be set to the
correct result, depending on where the address falls in the address
space.

Using find_vma_intersection() allows for what is intended by only
returning a VMA if it falls within the range provided, in this case a
window of 1.

Fixes: bd35a4adc413 (arm64: Port SWP/SWPB emulation support from arm)

I'm not seeing how this addresses VM_GROWSDOWN as Catalin mentioned before.

Sorry for not including the link before, but for context, I've added the
URL for the lore conversation from before at the end of my message [1].

I thought this was resolved by the fact that the stack expansion would
have already taken care of the VM_GROWSDOWN code path?  Did I
misunderstand what was said?

I've modified the other paths to this function to avoid causing issues
elsewhere and to hopefully do the necessary cleanup that Catalin said
needed to be tidied.

Thanks,
Liam
