As I know, KASAN_VMALLOC now only supports KASAN_GENERIC and also
KASAN_VMALLOC uses more memory to map real shadow memory (1/8 of vmalloc va).
There should be someone can enable KASAN_GENERIC but can't use VMALLOC
due to memory issue.

After reviewing this code,
since VMALLOC_STAR is a compiler defined macro of MODULES_END,
this if-condition will never be true.
I also test it with removing this and works fine.
I'll remove this in the next version patch,
thanks a lot for pointing out this.
