Hmm, that doesn't look right.
Suppose:
start==0; end==5120; pg_shift==12; pg_num == 1;
So:
pgn = 1; // (5120>>12)-(0>>12)

And we end-up accessing element that is beyond  allocated memory.

Again, suppose:
j==0; start==0; end==2048; pg_shift==12; pg_num == 2;
So:
pgn = 0;
k = 1;
and the loop goes beyond paddr[] boundaries.

The problem here, I think that you treat pgn as number of pages, while it is index of last page to be used.
As I understand, what you are trying to fix here, is a situation when end is a multiply of page size (end == N * pg_sz),  right?
Then, probably something simple like that would do:

- pgn = (end >> pg_shift) - (start >> pg_shift);
+ pgn = (end - 1 >> pg_shift) - (start >> pg_shift);
+ pg_next = (end >> pg_shift) - (start >> pg_shift);
...
  if (k == pgn) {
                        if (obj_iter != NULL)
                                obj_iter(obj_iter_arg, (void *)start,
                                        (void *)end, i);
                        va = end;
 -                      j = pgn;
+                      j = pg_next;
                        i++;
                } else {
