[PATCH] Check if start address is in vma region in NOMMU function get_user_pages()

Browse Source 
In NOMMU arch, if run "cat /proc/self/mem", data from physical address 0
are read.  This behavior is different from MMU arch.  In IA32, message
"cat: /proc/self/mem: Input/output error" is reported.

This issue is rootcaused by not validate the start address in NOMMU
function get_user_pages().  Following patch solves this issue.
