The virtual_address_range selftest reads from the start of each mapping
listed in /proc/self/maps.
However not all mappings are valid to be arbitrarily accessed.
For example the vvar data used for virtual clocks on x86 [vvar_vclock]
can only be accessed if 1) the kernel configuration enables virtual
clocks and 2) the hypervisor provided the data for it.
Only the VDSO itself has the necessary information to know this.
Since commit e93d2521b27f ("x86/vdso: Split virtual clock pages into dedicated mapping")
the virtual clock data was split out into its own mapping, leading
to EFAULT from read() during the validation.
Check for the VM_IO flag as a proxy.
It is present for the VVAR mappings and MMIO ranges can be dangerous to
access arbitrarily.

Interestingly, this will only work if addr really is the start of the
mapping, as __get_smap_entry() cannot handle "address falls into a
mapping". Good enough for now, but might be worth a comment.
(wrong usage would fail with No VmFlags for ... )

Maybe just initialize it to NULL.

Are these early exit allowed with strtok_r()?
An alternative seems to be using strcspn() that doesn't modify
strings/maintain state in-between calls.
