kasan: Create a shadow for the bootstack prior to hammer_time()

Description

kasan: Create a shadow for the bootstack prior to hammer_time()

When the kernel is compiled with -asan-stack=true, the address sanitizer
will emit inline accesses to the shadow map. In other words, some
shadow map accesses are not intercepted by the KASAN runtime, so they
cannot be disabled even if the runtime is not yet initialized by
kasan_init() at the end of hammer_time().

This went unnoticed because the loader will initialize all PML4 entries
of the bootstrap page table to point to the same PDP page, so early
shadow map accesses do not raise a page fault, though they are silently
corrupting memory. In fact, when the loader does not copy the staging
area, we do get a page fault since in that case only the first and last
PML4Es are populated by the loader. But due to another bug, the loader
always treated KASAN kernels as non-relocatable and thus always copied
the staging area.

It is not really practical to annotate hammer_time() and all callees
with __nosanitizeaddress, so instead add some early initialization which
creates a shadow for the boot stack used by hammer_time(). This is only
needed by KASAN, not by KMSAN, but the shared pmap code handles both.
