Subject: [PATCH v7 4/9] x86/KASLR: Return earliest overlap when avoiding regions

In preparation for being able to detect where to split up contiguous
memory regions that overlap with memory regions to avoid, we need to
pass back what the earliest overlapping region was. This modifies the
overlap checker to return that information.

Based on a separate mem_min_overlap() implementation by Baoquan He.
