[PATCH 3/6] ARM: mm: Drop the lowmem watermark check from virt_addr_valid()

[santosh.shilimkar@ti.com (Santosh Shilimkar)]

Slab allocator can allocate memory beyond the lowmem watermark
which can lead to false failure of virt_addr_valid().

So drop the check. The issue was seen with percpu_alloc()
in KVM code which was allocating memory beyond lowmem watermark.

Am not completly sure whether this is the right fix and if it could
impact any other user of virt_addr_valid(). Without this fix as
pointed out the KVM init was failing in my testing.
