efi/unaccepted: Fix off-by-one when checking for overlapping ranges

When a task needs to accept memory it will scan the accepting_list
to see if any ranges already being processed by other tasks overlap
with its range. Due to an off-by-one in the range comparisons, a task
might falsely determine that an overlapping range is being accepted,
leading to an unnecessary delay before it begins processing the range.

Fix the off-by-one in the range comparison to prevent this and slightly
improve performance.
