On arm64 the kernel image lives in a separate linear offset. arm doesn't
do anything like that so __phys_addr_symbol should just be the regular
__virt_to_phys

I'd rather see this return true for only the linear range and
reject everything else. asm/memory.h already has

#define virt_addr_valid(kaddr)  (((unsigned long)(kaddr) >= PAGE_OFFSET && (unsigned long)(kaddr) < (unsigned long)high_memory) \
                                        && pfn_valid(virt_to_pfn(kaddr)))

So we can make the check x >= PAGE_OFFSET && x < high_memory

This is a confusing name for this function, it's not checking if
a physical address is valid, it's checking if a virtual address
corresponding to a kernel symbol is valid.
