vaddr here is the passed-in address, but in order for the lookup to be positive
it needs to be the canonical address (i.e. the one pointing into the 1:1 mapping),
i.e. __va(cpa->pfn << PAGE_SHIFT), just like temp_cpa_vaddr gets calculated
earlier in the same function.

Sorry for not having spotted this yesterday,
