x86/mm/kasan: Don't use vmemmap_populate() to initialize shadow

[ Note, this commit is a cherry-picked version of:

    d17a1d97: ("x86/mm/kasan: don't use vmemmap_populate() to initialize shadow")

  ... for easier x86 entry code testing and back-porting. ]

The KASAN shadow is currently mapped using vmemmap_populate() since that
provides a semi-convenient way to map pages into init_top_pgt.  However,
since that no longer zeroes the mapped pages, it is not suitable for
KASAN, which requires zeroed shadow memory.

Add kasan_populate_shadow() interface and use it instead of
vmemmap_populate().  Besides, this allows us to take advantage of
gigantic pages and use them to populate the shadow, which should save us
some memory wasted on page tables and reduce TLB pressure.
