[PATCH v2 1/2] arm64: Fix kernel address detection of __is_lm_address()

Currently, the __is_lm_address() check just masks out the top 12 bits
of the address, but if they are 0, it still yields a true result.
This has as a side effect that virt_addr_valid() returns true even for
invalid virtual addresses (e.g. 0x0).

Fix the detection checking that it's actually a kernel address starting
at PAGE_OFFSET.
