When sorting and merging overlapping ranges in
pfn_pdx_compression_setup(), the merged range is set to end where the
second range ends. If the second range is fully contained in the first,
this truncates the first range, and the tail of it is then neither
compressible nor translated correctly.
Keep the end of the merged range as the maximum of both ends.
On x86 the ranges come from the SRAT memory affinity entries, and
overlapping entries for the same node are tolerated with a warning by the
NUMA code. The caller's subsequent coverage check catches the truncated
range, so the effect is that PDX compression is disabled with a "RAM
region ... not covered" message rather than memory being mistranslated.
Add a test case that fails without this change.
Found with the ESBMC bounded model checker, and confirmed by running the
failing case natively against the unmodified code.
