This will only reject cases where the ! is present.  Coccinelle doesn't
apply isomorphisms to the C source code, so it doesn't detect that eg

if (A)
  B
else C

could be rewritten as

if (!A)
  C
ese B

So when != !A would only match when the code is in the second form.

This matches both a call to is_vmalloc_addr and a negated call, so it is
more general.
