Introduce is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() and use with DEBUG_VIRTUAL
Impact: crash on module insertion with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL We would incorrectly BUG due to: VIRTUAL_BUG_ON(!is_vmalloc_addr(vmalloc_addr) && !is_module_address(addr)); ... because, at least on x86-64, is_module_address() doesn't do what it should. This patch introduces is_vmalloc_or_module_addr(), which is what we really want anyway, and uses it instead. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
