The (start, size) tuple represents a range [start, start + size - 1],
which means "start" and "start + size - 1" should be compared to see
whether the range overflows.
For example, a range with (start, size):
(0xffffffff
fffffff0, 0x00000000
00000010)
represents
[0xffffffff
fffffff0, 0xffffffff
ffffffff]
... would be judged overflow in the original code, while actually it is not.
This patch fixes this and makes sure it still works when size is zero.
