Since commit 9132a2e82adc ("powerpc/8xx: Define a MODULE area below
kernel text"), module exec space is below PAGE_OFFSET so not only
space above PAGE_OFFSET, but space above TASK_SIZE need to be seen
as kernel space.
Until now the problem went undetected because by default TASK_SIZE
is 0x8000000 which means address space is determined by just
checking upper address bit. But when TASK_SIZE is over 0x80000000,
PAGE_OFFSET is used for comparison, leading to thinking module
addresses are part of user space.
Fix it by using TASK_SIZE instead of PAGE_OFFSET for address
comparison.
