    xen/arm: Don't use _end in is_xen_fixed_mfn()
    
    virt_to_maddr() is using the hardware page-table walk instructions to
    translate a virtual address to physical address. The function should
    only be called on virtual address mapped.
    
    _end points past the end of Xen binary and may not be mapped when the
    binary size is page-aligned. This means virt_to_maddr() will not be able
    to do the translation and therefore crash Xen.
    
    Note there is also an off-by-one issue in this code, but the panic will
    trump that.
    
    Both issues can be fixed by using _end - 1 in the check.
