[PATCH v4 0/2] arm: kasan: support CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC

Since the framework of KASAN_VMALLOC is well-developed,
It's easy to support for ARM that simply not to map shadow of VMALLOC
area on kasan_init.

Since the virtual address of vmalloc for Arm is also between
MODULE_VADDR and 0x100000000 (ZONE_HIGHMEM), which means the shadow
address has already included between KASAN_SHADOW_START and
KASAN_SHADOW_END.
Thus we need to change nothing for memory map of Arm.

This can fix ARM_MODULE_PLTS with KASan, support KASan for higmem
and support CONFIG_VMAP_STACK with KASan.
    

Test on
1. Qemu with memory 2G and vmalloc=500M for 3G/1G mapping.
2. Qemu with memory 2G and vmalloc=500M for 3G/1G mapping + LPAE.
3. Qemu with memory 2G and vmalloc=500M for 2G/2G mapping.

v4:
    rebase on 5.17-rc8.
    remove simple doc for "arm: kasan: support CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC"
    rewrite the description for VMAP_STACK

v3:
    rebase on 5.17-rc5.
    Add simple doc for "arm: kasan: support CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC"
    Tweak commit message.
