[PATCH] arm64: kasan: Fix zero shadow mapping overriding kernel image shadow

With the 16KB and 64KB page size configurations, SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE is
PAGE_SIZE and ARM64_SWAPPER_USES_SECTION_MAPS is 0. Since
kimg_shadow_end is not page aligned (_end shifted by
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT), the edges of previously mapped kernel image
shadow via vmemmap_populate() may be overridden by the subsequent call
to kasan_populate_zero_shadow(), leading to kernel panics like below:

This patch aligns kimg_shadow_start and kimg_shadow_end to
SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE in all configurations.
