s390/kasan: avoid short by one page shadow memory



Kernel Address Sanitizer uses 3 bits per byte to
encode memory. That is the number of bits the start
and end address of a memory range is shifted right
when the corresponding shadow memory is created for
that memory range.

The used memory mapping routine expects page-aligned
addresses, while the above described 3-bit shift might
turn the shadow memory range start and end boundaries
into non-page-aligned in case the size of the original
memory range is less than (PAGE_SIZE << 3). As result,
the resulting shadow memory range could be short on one
page.

Align on page boundary the start and end addresses when
mapping a shadow memory range and avoid the described
issue in the future.

Note, that does not fix a real problem, since currently
no virtual regions of size less than (PAGE_SIZE << 3)
exist.
