When KASAN and KASLR are both enabled, modules are allocated in the
dedicated module window, since the vmalloc space is already shadowed
by KASAN zero pages and so the modules must be kept out of it. since
they have their own real shadow pages that are allocated on demand.

Looking at the backtrace, it seems like the failure may be due to the
shadow space clashing, probably because the top of the module region
exceeds MODULES_END.

Does the below help at all? (patch soup courtesy of gmail, apologies)
