[PATCH v2 0/4] arm64: kasan: support CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC

Linux supports KAsan for VMALLOC since commit 3c5c3cfb9ef4da9
("kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow memory")

Acroding to how x86 ported it [1], they early allocated p4d and pgd,
but in arm64 I just simulate how KAsan supports MODULES_VADDR in arm64
by not to populate the vmalloc area except for kimg address.

Test environment:
    4G and 8G Qemu virt, 
    39-bit VA + 4k PAGE_SIZE with 3-level page table,
    test by lib/test_kasan.ko and lib/test_kasan_module.ko

It also works in Kaslr with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL
and randomize module region inside vmalloc area.

v2 -> v1
	1. kasan_init.c tweak indent
	2. change Kconfig depends only on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN
	3. support randomized module region.
