From: Hailong Liu <liu.hailong6 at zte.com.cn>

The size of kasan_early_shadow_pte[] now is PTRS_PER_PTE which defined to
512 for arm architecture. This means that it only covers the prev Linux pte
entries, but not the HWTABLE pte entries for arm.

The reason it works well current is that the symbol kasan_early_shadow_page
immediately following kasan_early_shadow_pte in memory is page aligned,
which makes kasan_early_shadow_pte look like a 4KB size array. But we can't
ensure the order always right with different compiler/linker, nor more bss
symbols be introduced.

We had a test with QEMU + vexpress:put a 512KB-size symbol with attribute
__section(".bss..page_aligned") after kasan_early_shadow_pte, and poison it
after kasan_early_init(). Then enabled CONFIG_KASAN, it failed to boot up.
