… reentrant __buffer__ (pythonGH-153579) bytearray.extend() clamped only the high bound of the append range to the current size after acquiring the argument's buffer, so a __buffer__ that shrinks the bytearray left the low bound past the high bound and ran a negative-size memmove. Clamp the low bound too, matching bytearray.__iadd__. (cherry picked from commit e675e37) Co-authored-by: tonghuaroot (童话) <tonghuaroot@gmail.com>

bytearray.extend() clamped only the high bound of the append range to the
current size after acquiring the argument's buffer, so a buffer that shrinks
the bytearray left the low bound past the high bound and ran a negative-size
memmove. Clamp the low bound too, matching bytearray.iadd.
