That is because ARM maps the kernel in the linear map, whereas arm64
maps the kernel in the vmalloc space.
vmalloc addresses cannot be used for DMA, which is why
virt_addr_valid() rejects them. On arm64, the same applies to the
kernel image, as well as the vmap'ed stack.

Your 'fix' will break other stuff: it is used, e.g., to decide whether
__pa() may be used on the input VA, which applies a fixed translation
on the input, rather than walk the page tables to obtain the physical
address.
