drivers: char: mem: Check {read,write}_kmem() addresses
Arriving at read_kmem() with an offset representing a bogus kernel address (e.g. 0 from a simple "cat /dev/kmem") leads to copy_to_user faulting on the kernel-side read. x86_64 happens to get away with this since the optimised implementation uses "rep movs*", thus the user write (which is allowed to fault) and the kernel read are the same instruction, the kernel-side fault falls into the user-side fixup handler and the chain of events which transpires ends up returning an error as one might expect, even if it's an inappropriate -EFAULT. On other architectures, though, the read is not covered by the fixup entry for the write, and we get a big scary "Unable to hande kernel paging request..." dump. The more typical use-case of mmap_kmem() has always (within living memory at least) returned -EIO for addresses which don't satisfy pfn_valid(), so let's make that consistent across {read,write}_kem() too.
