Huacai Chen 1a629fe4cc LoongArch: Make virt_addr_valid()/__virt_addr_valid() work with KFENCE
When enabling both CONFIG_KFENCE and CONFIG_DEBUG_SG, I get the
following backtraces when running LongArch kernels.

[    2.496257] kernel BUG at include/linux/scatterlist.h:187!
...
[    2.501925] Call Trace:
[    2.501950] [<9000000004ad59c4>] sg_init_one+0xac/0xc0

[    2.502912] [<9000000004161c48>] ret_from_kernel_thread+0xc/0xa4

The backtrace is always similar but not exactly the same. It is always
triggered from cryptomgr_test, but not always from the same test.

Analysis shows that with CONFIG_KFENCE active, the address returned from
kmalloc() and friends is not always below vm_map_base. It is allocated
by kfence_alloc() which at least sometimes seems to get its memory from
an address space above vm_map_base. This causes __virt_addr_valid() to
return false for the affected objects.

Let __virt_addr_valid() return 1 for kfence pool addresses, this make
virt_addr_valid()/__virt_addr_valid() work with KFENCE.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
