Introduce generic kasan_populate_zero_shadow(start, end).
This function maps kasan_zero_page to the [start, end] addresses.

In follow on patches it will be used for ARMv8 (and maybe other
architectures) and will replace x86_64 specific populate_zero_shadow().

Are you releasing code under GPL?
Shouldn't there be any license header in such new file?
Sure, will do.

But you're not checking return value after zero_pud_populate() and
zero_pmd_populate() that might fail with ENOMEM.
Is it critical here on init or can they be converted to return void?
I think it's better to convert these functions to void.
BTW, this check after early_alloc() is pointless because early_alloc() will panic
if allocation failed.
