Can we hide all this logic behind some function like
kasan_find_vm_area() which would return NULL for -rt?
Sure. We can certainly do that.

                 if (va) {
                         pr_err("The buggy address belongs to the virtual mapping at\n"

Or does vmalloc_to_page() secretly take  some lock somewhere so we
need to guard it with this 'vmalloc_map' too?
So my suggestion above wouldn't be enough, if that's the case.

AFAICS, vmalloc_to_page() doesn't seem to take any lock.  Even if it takes another spinlock, it will still be under the vmalloc_map protection until lock_map_release() is called.
