This change uses the original virt_to_page() (the one with __pa()) to
check the given virtual address if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y.
Recently, I worked on a bug: a driver passes a symbol address to
dma_map_single() and the virt_to_page() (called by dma_map_single())
does not work for non-linear addresses after commit 9f2875912dac
("arm64: mm: restrict virt_to_page() to the linear mapping").
I tried to trap the bug by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL but it
did not work - bacause the commit removes the __pa() from
virt_to_page() but CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL checks the virtual address
in __pa()/__virt_to_phys().
A simple solution is to use the original virt_to_page()
(the one with__pa()) if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
