I don't think that this is correct change.
On ppc64 modules are in VMALLOC, so you should check for this.
Yes, we don't handle VMALLOC now, but we will at some point.

So I think we should use is_module_address() here.
It will be slower, but we don't care about performance in error reporting route.

Will fix in the next update.
