The linked syz repro is:

r0 = bpf$PROG_LOAD(0x5, &(0x7f00000000c0)={0x11, 0xb,
&(0x7f0000000180)=@framed={{}, [@printk={@integer, {}, {}, {}, {},
{0x7, 0x0, 0xb, 0x3, 0x0, 0x0, 0xff600000}, {0x85, 0x0, 0x0, 0x71}}]},
&(0x7f0000000200)='GPL\x00', 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, '\x00', 0x0,
0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0},
0x90)
bpf$BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN(0x11,
&(0x7f0000000540)={&(0x7f0000000000)='kfree\x00', r0}, 0x10)

So syzkaller generated a BPF tracing program. 0x85 is BPF_JMP |
BPF_CALL, which is used to invoke BPF helpers; 0x71 is 113, which is
the number of the probe_read_kernel helper, which basically takes
arbitrary values as input and casts them to kernel pointers, and then
probe-reads them. And before that is some kinda ALU op with 0xff600000
as immediate.

So it looks like the answer to that question is "the BPF program tries
to copy from the VSYSCALL page because syzkaller decided to write BPF
code that does specifically that, and the BPF helper let it do that".

copy_from_kernel_nofault() does check
copy_from_kernel_nofault_allowed() to make sure the pointer really is
a kernel pointer, and the X86 version of that rejects anything in the
userspace part of the address space. But it does not know about the
vsyscall area.
