[PATCH v3 0/2] mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc_dump_obj VA lookup

vmalloc_dump_obj() has two bugs that cause it to miss vmalloc
allocations.

  1. PAGE_ALIGN() rounds up, pushing last-page addresses to va_end
     and outside the VA lookup range.

  2. The function searches only one vmap node, but allocations
     larger than 64 KiB may span multiple vmap zones whose VA
     is stored in a different node's rb-tree.

Patch 1 fixes the alignment, patch 2 fixes the cross-zone search.

Changes in v3:
- Patch3 drop.
- Patch2 Extract find_vmap_area_lock as a helper to simplify the code.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260921-vmalloc_dump_obj-v2-0-73fceb3ed1c8@linux.dev

Changes in v2:
- Use is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() instead of is_vmalloc_addr() to
  avoid filtering module/BPF/execmem addresses. (sashiko-bot)
