[v4 11/15] arm64/kasan: explicitly zero kasan shadow memory

To optimize the performance of struct page initialization,
vmemmap_populate() will no longer zero memory.

We must explicitly zero the memory that is allocated by vmemmap_populate()
for kasan, as this memory does not go through struct page initialization
path.
