Subject: [PATCH 3/5] leaking_addresses: add range check for vsyscall memory

Currently script checks only first and last address in the vsyscall
memory range. We can do better than this.

When checking for false positives against $match, convert $match to
a hexadecimal value then check if it lies within the range of vsyscall
addresses.
