Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/vmalloc: export is_vmalloc_or_module_addr

9p-virtio needs is_vmalloc_or_module_addr exported before a patch can be
merged to prevent the virtio zero-copy routines from triggering a
hypervisor page fault when loading kernel modules:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux.kernel/eRR7AyLE29Y

Without this export, the kernel build breaks with that patch applied and
CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=m. With this export in place, all is well.
