Why we must modify relocate_kernel for KASAN?

When the CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is enabled, the kernel will be updated to a random new address.
Kasan needs to call kasan_early_init before start_kernel.
There are two situations:
1> After enabling CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, call kasan_early_init.
2> After CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not enabled, call kasan_early_init.

In order to prevent code redundancy and semantic problems caused by calling kasan_early_init (before jr a0) at the old PC.

Thanks,
