kho: fix out-of-bounds access of vmalloc chunk

The list of pages in a vmalloc chunk is NULL-terminated.  So when looping
through the pages in a vmalloc chunk, both kho_restore_vmalloc() and
kho_vmalloc_unpreserve_chunk() rightly make sure to stop when encountering
a NULL page.  But when the chunk is full, the loops do not stop and go
past the bounds of chunk->phys, resulting in out-of-bounds memory access,
and possibly the restoration or unpreservation of an invalid page.

Fix this by making sure the processing of chunk stops at the end of the
array.
