Maybe clamp_range()?
I'd also prefer to fill lines with parameters, rather than have each on a
separate line.

I don't think this can be removed. Consider a request to register uffd for
a range that spans two disjoint VMAs. Then on the second iteration start
will be equal to vm_end of the first VMA, so it should be clamped to
vm_start of the second VMA.
