CVE-2021-47640

Descripción en
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

powerpc/kasan: Fix early region not updated correctly

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:
==================================================================
BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in pcpu_alloc+0x508/0xa50

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
