kasan: rename KASAN_SHADOW_* to KASAN_GRANULE_*
This is a preparatory commit for the upcoming addition of a new hardware
tag-based (MTE-based) KASAN mode.
The new mode won't be using shadow memory, but will still use the concept
of memory granules. Each memory granule maps to a single metadata entry:
8 bytes per one shadow byte for generic mode, 16 bytes per one shadow byte
for software tag-based mode, and 16 bytes per one allocation tag for
hardware tag-based mode.
Rename KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE to KASAN_GRANULE_SIZE, and
KASAN_SHADOW_MASK to KASAN_GRANULE_MASK.
Also use MASK when used as a mask, otherwise use SIZE.
No functional changes.

Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to -``KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE``. +``KASAN_GRANULE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE``. Instead, we share backing space across multiple mappings. We allocate a backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page |
