x86/mm: Set MODULES_END to 0xffffffffff000000



Since f06bdd40 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size")
kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) could be not aligned to a page boundary.

So passing page unaligned address to kasan_populate_zero_shadow() have two
possible effects:

1) It may leave one page hole in supposed to be populated area. After commit
  21506525 ("x86/kasan/64: Teach KASAN about the cpu_entry_area") that
  hole happens to be in the shadow covering fixmap area and leads to crash:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffbffffe8ee04
 RIP: 0010:check_memory_region+0x5c/0x190

 Call Trace:
  <NMI>
  memcpy+0x1f/0x50
  ghes_copy_tofrom_phys+0xab/0x180
  ghes_read_estatus+0xfb/0x280

  default_do_nmi+0x57/0x110
  do_nmi+0xf8/0x150
  end_repeat_nmi+0x1a/0x1e

Note, the crash likely disappeared after commit 92a0f81d, which
changed kasan_populate_zero_shadow() call the way it was before
commit 21506525.

2) Attempt to load module near MODULES_END will fail, because
   __vmalloc_node_range() called from kasan_module_alloc() will hit the
   WARN_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in the vmap_pte_range() and bail out with error.

To fix this we need to make kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) page aligned
which means that MODULES_END should be 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned.

The whole point of commit f06bdd40 was to move MODULES_END down if
NR_CPUS is big, so the cpu_entry_area takes a lot of space.
But since 92a0f81d ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap")
the cpu_entry_area is no longer in fixmap, so we could just set
MODULES_END to a fixed 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address.
