The shadow's page table is not updated when PTE_RPN_SHIFT is 24
and PAGE_SHIFT is 12. It not only causes false positives but
also false negative as shown the following text.

Fix it by bringing the logic of kasan_early_shadow_page_entry here.

1. False Positive:

2. False Negative (with KASAN tests):
==================================================================
Before fix:
ok 45 - kmalloc_double_kzfree
# vmalloc_oob: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/test_kasan.c:1039
KASAN failure expected in "((volatile char *)area)[3100]", but none occurred
not ok 46 - vmalloc_oob
not ok 1 - kasan

==================================================================
After fix:
ok 1 - kasan

Hi, It can be reproduced with the following kernel configs.
make corenet32_smp_defconfig

CONFIG_PPC_QEMU_E500=y
CONFIG_KASAN=y
CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE=y
# CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE is not set
CONFIG_KASAN_STACK=y
CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC=y

And boot the kernel with the rootfs created by buildroot-2021.08.1
qemu-system-ppc -M ppce500 -cpu e500mc -m 256 -kernel /code/linux/vmlinux \
-drive file=output/images/rootfs.ext2,if=virtio,format=raw \
-append "console=ttyS0 rootwait root=/dev/vda" -serial mon:stdio -nographic

Could you help review this patch?
I will add the necessary info if any is needed.
