PATCH 1/1 vga: fix region calculation

Typically the scanline length and the line offset are identical. But case they are not our calculation for region_end is incorrect. Using line_offset is fine for all scanlines, except the last one where we have to use the actual scanline length.

It does help to fix a segmentation fault caused by OOB access.

Thank you.
