virt_addr_valid is supposed to return true if and only if virt_to_page
returns a valid page structure. The current macro does math on whatever
address is given and passes that to pfn_valid to verify. vmalloc and
module addresses can happen to generate a pfn that 'happens' to be
valid. Fix this by only performing the pfn_valid check on addresses that
have the potential to be valid.

This caused a bug at least twice in hardened usercopy so it is an
actual problem. A further TODO is full DEBUG_VIRTUAL support to
catch these types of mistakes.

Bah, I realized I butchered the macro parenthesization. I'll fix that
in a v2. I'll wait for comments on this first.

Thanks,
