From: Yee Lee <yee.lee at mediatek.com>

Since scs allocation is moved to vmalloc region, the
shadow stack is protected by kasan_posion_vmalloc.
However, the vfree_atomic operation needs to access
its context for scs_free process and causes kasan error
as the dump info below.

This patch Adds kasan_unpoison_vmalloc() before vfree_atomic,
which aligns to the prior flow as using kmem_cache.
The vmalloc region will go back posioned in the following
vumap() operations.
