[PATCH v2 2/2] mm: usercopy: Warn vmalloc/module address in check_heap_object()

virt_addr_valid() could be insufficient to validate the virt addr
on some architecture, which could lead to potential BUG which has
been found on arm64/powerpc64.

Let's add WARN_ON to check if the virt addr is passed virt_addr_valid()
but is a vmalloc/module address.
