Subject: [PATCH 5.4 16/80] xtensa: use MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE for KASAN shadow map

From: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@...il.com>

commit e64681b487c897ec871465083bf0874087d47b66 upstream.

KASAN shadow map doesn't need to be accessible through the linear kernel
mapping, allocate its pages with MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE so that high
memory can be used. This frees up to ~100MB of low memory on xtensa
configurations with KASAN and high memory.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # v5.1+
Fixes: f240ec09bb8a ("memblock: replace memblock_alloc_base(ANYWHERE) with memblock_phys_alloc")
