Subject: [RFC 01/13] x86/paravirt: Turn KASAN off for parvirt.o

Otherwise terrible things happen if some of the callbacks end up
calling into KASAN in unexpected places.

This has no obvious symptoms yet, but adding a memory reference to
native_flush_tlb_global without this blows up on KASAN kernels.
