fffffc0000f3b1a8 is a module address. Modules may have compiled in
strings which could get copied to userspace. In this instance, it
looks like "." which matches with a size of 1 byte. Extend the
is_vmalloc_addr check to be is_vmalloc_or_module_addr to cover
all possible cases.

Longer term, it would be good to expand the check for to regions like
regular kernel memory.

I still don't understand why this happens on arm64 and not x86.
(Really what I don't understand is what virt_addr_valid() is actually
checking -- they seem to be checking very different things between x86
and arm64.)
Regardless, I'll get this pushed to Linus and try to make the -rc8 cut.
Thanks!

virt_addr_valid is supposed to return true if and only if virt_to_page
returns a valid pointer. arm64 is currently returning true in some
cases it shouldn't. I finally got to work on a patch to fix it up so
hopefully once that gets submitted we can drop these extra checks.
