arm64: kaslr: keep modules inside module region when KASAN is enabled
When KASLR and KASAN are both enabled, we keep the modules where they are, and randomize the placement of the kernel so it is within 2 GB of the module region. The reason for this is that putting modules in the vmalloc region (like we normally do when KASLR is enabled) is not possible in this case, given that the entire vmalloc region is already backed by KASAN zero shadow pages, and so allocating dedicated KASAN shadow space as required by loaded modules is not possible. The default module allocation window is set to [_etext - 128MB, _etext] in kaslr.c, which is appropriate for KASLR kernels booted without a seed or with 'nokaslr' on the command line. However, as it turns out, it is not quite correct for the KASAN case, since it still intersects the vmalloc region at the top, where attempts to allocate shadow pages will collide with the KASAN zero shadow pages, causing a WARN() and all kinds of other trouble. So cap the top end to MODULES_END explicitly when running with KASAN.
