    drivers: char: mem: Fix thinkos in kmem address checks · 488debb9

    When borrowing the pfn_valid() check from mmap_kmem(), somebody managed
    to get physical and virtual addresses spectacularly muddled up, such
    that we've ended up with checks for one being the other. Whilst this
    does indeed prevent out-of-bounds accesses crashing, on most systems
    it also prevents the more desirable use-case of working at all ever.
    
    Check the *virtual* offset correctly for what it is. Furthermore, do
    so in the right place - a read or write may span multiple pages, so a
    single up-front check is insufficient. High memory accesses already
    have a similar validity check just before the copy_to_user() call, so
    just make the low memory path fully consistent with that.
