[PATCH] ARM: kasan: Only map modules if CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC=n

In case CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC=y kasan_populate_vmalloc() allocates the
shadow pages dynamically. But even worse is that kasan_release_vmalloc()
releases them, which is not compatible with create_mapping() of
MODULES_VADDR..MODULES_END range:

BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/9:1 pfn:2068b
