[PATCH] iommupt: report the whole contiguous group in read_and_clear_dirty

The record_dirty() function computes the reported dirty length of a contiguous
(multi-item) leaf group as:

end_index = log2_set_mod_max_t(unsigned int, pts->index, num_contig_lg2);
end_index = min(end_index, pts->end_index);
dirty_len = (end_index - index) * log2_to_int(pt_table_item_lg2sz(pts));

Here, log2_set_mod_max_t() sets the low num_contig_lg2 bits of the index to all
ones, i.e. it returns the *inclusive* last index of the contiguous group.
However, pts->end_index is an *exclusive* bound, this can be seen from the
definition of pt_range_to_end_index() which returns of the form "index + 1".
Also, the iterator stops on index >= end_index. Therefore, subtracting an
inclusive end from an exclusive bound will yield one less item than the actual
length of the contiguous group.

For IOMMU dirty tracking used by VFIO/iommufd live migration this silently
drops the last page of a contiguous dirty mapping from the migration
bitmap.

This patch makes end_index exclusive to match pts->end_index and the span cleared by
pt_entry_make_write_clean(). Also, the same length is passed to
iommu_iotlb_gather_add_range() so this fix would correct that as well.
