Thanks for your review.
I don't know why we need to avoided "ldr". The "ldr" maybe cause the
performance fall down, but it will be very limited, and as we know the
performance of kasan version is lower than the normal version. And usually
we don't use kasan version in our product, we only use kasan version when
we want to debug some memory corruption problem in laboratory(not not in
commercial product) because the performance of kasan version is lower than
normal version.
So I think we can accept the influence of the performance by using "ldr" here.

Thanks for you review.
If we enable CONFIG_KASAN, we need steal 130MByte(0xb6e00000 ~ 0xbf000000) from user space.
If we change to steal 130MByte(0xb6000000 ~ 0xbe200000) , the 14MB of user space is going to be
wasted. I think it is better to to use "ldr" whose influence to the system are very limited than to waste
14MB user space by chaned TASK_SIZE from 0xb6e00000 from 0xb6000000.
If TASK_SIZE is an 8-bit rotated constant, the compiler can convert "ldr rx,=TASK_SIZE" into mov rx, #TASK_SIZE
If TASK_SIZE is not an 8-bit rotated constant, the compiler can convert "ldr rx,=TASK_SIZE" into ldr rx, [pc,xxx],
So we can use ldr to replace mov. Here is the code which is tested by me:
