## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  mshv: Fix create memory region overlap check  The current check is incorrect; it only checks if the beginning or end of a region is within an existing region. This doesn't account for userspace specifying a region that begins before and ends after an existing region.  Change the logic to a range intersection check against gfns and uaddrs for each region.  Remove mshv_partition_region_by_uaddr() as it is no longer used.
