arm64: allow vmalloc regions to be set with set_memory_* 

The range of set_memory_* is currently restricted to the module address
range because of difficulties in breaking down larger block sizes.
vmalloc maps PAGE_SIZE pages so it is safe to use as well. Update the
function ranges and add a comment explaining why the range is restricted
the way it is.
