kern_addr_valid(), which is only used in read_kcore(), and it
calls copy_from_kernel_nofault() which could check whether the
address is a valid kernel address, so no need kern_addr_valid(),

minor grammatical nit:

"... which already checks whether the address is a valid kernel address. So kern_addr_valid is unnecessary, let's remove it."

let's remove unneeded kern_addr_valid() completely.
