Subject: Revert "powerpc/kasan: Fix shadow pages allocation failure"
From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b506923ee44ae87fc9f4de16b53feb313623e146 upstream.
This reverts commit d2a91cef9bbdeb87b7449fdab1a6be6000930210.
This commit moved too much work in kasan_init(). The allocation
of shadow pages has to be moved for the reason explained in that
patch, but the allocation of page tables still need to be done
before switching to the final hash table.
First revert the incorrect commit, following patch redoes it
properly.
