The old and new code is interchangeable, meaning "reg_end == vma->start"
is invalid in both cases. So if there is a boundary issue, the old and new
code should have same issue.

According to the code, "reg_end == vma->start" is invalid. So I don't see
there is a boundary issue. Hopefully, I don't miss anything :)
