Subject[PATCH] virtio-console: avoid DMA from vmalloc area
Date
This patch is to optimize the commit c4baad5029:
virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack

Commit c4baad5029(virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack) directly uses
kmemdup() to alloc new buffer from kmalloc area and do memcpy no matter
the buf is in kmalloc area or not.

This patch is to optimize the commit c4baad5029, use is_vmalloc_addr()
to judge the buf to avoid unnecessary memory alloc and copy.
