For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory
backing memory for modules. So on module loading we will need
to allocate shadow memory and map it at exact virtual address.
__vmalloc_node_range() seems like the best fit for that purpose,
except it puts a guard hole after allocated area.
Add a new vm_struct flag 'VM_NO_GUARD' indicating that vm area
doesn't have a guard hole.
