Subject: mm/kasan: don't vfree() nonexistent vm_area
KASAN uses different routines to map shadow for hot added memory and
memory obtained in boot process. Attempt to offline memory onlined by
normal boot process leads to this:
Trying to vfree() nonexistent vm area (000000005d3b34b9)

Obviously we can't call vfree() to free memory that wasn't allocated via
vmalloc(). Use find_vm_area() to see if we can call vfree().
Unfortunately it's a bit tricky to properly unmap and free shadow
allocated during boot, so we'll have to keep it. If memory will come
online again that shadow will be reused.
Matthew asked: how can you call vfree() on something that isn't a
vmalloc address?
vfree() is able to free any address returned by
__vmalloc_node_range(). And __vmalloc_node_range() gives you any
address you ask. It doesn't have to be an address in [VMALLOC_START,
VMALLOC_END] range.
That's also how the module_alloc()/module_memfree() works on
architectures that have designated area for modules.
