[PATCH] Avoid false-positive mem_section validation with vmlinux
Currently get_mem_section() validates if SYMBOL(mem_section) is the address
of the mem_section array first. But there was a report that the first
validation wrongly returned TRUE with -x vmlinux and SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
(4.15+) on s390x. This leads to crash failing statup with the following
seek error:
crash: seek error: kernel virtual address: 67fffc2800 type: "memory section root table"
Skip the first validation when satisfying the conditions.
