    ARM: 7931/1: Correct virt_addr_valid · efea3403

    The definition of virt_addr_valid is that virt_addr_valid should
    return true if and only if virt_to_page returns a valid pointer.
    The current definition of virt_addr_valid only checks against the
    virtual address range. There's no guarantee that just because a
    virtual address falls bewteen PAGE_OFFSET and high_memory the
    associated physical memory has a valid backing struct page. Follow
    the example of other architectures and convert to pfn_valid to
    verify that the virtual address is actually valid. The check for
    an address between PAGE_OFFSET and high_memory is still necessary
    as vmalloc/highmem addresses are not valid with virt_to_page.
