Subject: [PATCH v10 5/5] kasan debug: track pages allocated for vmalloc shadow

Provide the current number of vmalloc shadow pages in
/sys/kernel/debug/kasan/vmalloc_shadow_pages.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens <dja@...ens.net>

v10: rebase on linux-next/master.

v8: rename kasan_vmalloc/shadow_pages -> kasan/vmalloc_shadow_pages

On v4 (no dynamic freeing), I saw the following approximate figures
on my test VM:

 - fresh boot: 720
 - after test_vmalloc: ~14000

With v5 (lazy dynamic freeing):

 - boot: ~490-500
 - running modprobe test_vmalloc pushes the figures up to sometimes
    as high as ~14000, but they drop down to ~560 after the test ends.
    I'm not sure where the extra sixty pages are from, but running the
    test repeately doesn't cause the number to keep growing, so I don't
    think we're leaking.
 - with vmap_stack, spawning tasks pushes the figure up to ~4200, then
    some clearing kicks in and drops it down to previous levels again.
