[RFC PATCH 4/7] riscv: Do not rely on KASAN to define the memory layout

Commit 66673099f734 ("riscv: mm: Pre-allocate vmemmap/direct map/kasan
PGD entries") used the start of the KASAN shadow memory region to
represent the end of the linear map, since the two memory regions were
immediately adjacent. This is no longer the case for Sv39; commit
5c8405d763dc ("riscv: Extend sv39 linear mapping max size to 128G")
introduced a 4 GiB hole between the regions. Introducing KASAN_SW_TAGS
will cut the size of the shadow memory region in half, creating an even
larger hole.

Avoid wasting PGD entries on this hole by using the size of the linear
map (KERN_VIRT_SIZE) to compute PAGE_END.

Since KASAN_SHADOW_START/KASAN_SHADOW_END are used inside an IS_ENABLED
block, it's not possible to completely hide the constants when KASAN is
disabled, so provide dummy definitions for that case.
