This reverts commit 517e1fbeb65f5eade8d14f46ac365db6c75aea9b.

  usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object not in SLUB page?! (offset 0, size 1048)!
  kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:99
  ...
  usercopy_abort+0x64/0xa0 (unreliable)
  __check_heap_object+0x168/0x190
  __check_object_size+0x1a0/0x200
  dev_ethtool+0x2494/0x2b20

  __se_sys_ioctl+0xf0/0x160
  system_call_exception+0xfc/0x1f0
  system_call_common+0xf8/0x200

When run ethtool eth0, the BUG occurred, the code shows below,

  data = vzalloc(array_size(gstrings.len, ETH_GSTRING_LEN));
  copy_to_user(useraddr, data, gstrings.len * ETH_GSTRING_LEN))

The data is alloced by vmalloc(),  virt_addr_valid(ptr) will return true
on PowerPC64, which leads to the panic, add back the is_vmalloc_or_module()
check to fix it.
