Subject: [PATCH v4 14/35] kmsan: Do not round up pg_data_t size

x86's alloc_node_data() rounds up node data size to PAGE_SIZE. It's not
explained why it's needed, but it's most likely for performance
reasons, since the padding bytes are not used anywhere. Some other
architectures do it as well, e.g., mips rounds it up to the cache line
size.

kmsan_init_shadow() initializes metadata for each node data and assumes
the x86 rounding, which does not match other architectures. This may
cause the range end to overshoot the end of available memory, in turn
causing virt_to_page_or_null() in kmsan_init_alloc_meta_for_range() to
return NULL, which leads to kernel panic shortly after.

Since the padding bytes are not used, drop the rounding.
