mm/kasan: avoid lazy MMU mode hazards

Functions __kasan_populate_vmalloc() and __kasan_depopulate_vmalloc() use
apply_to_pte_range(), which enters lazy MMU mode.  In that mode updating
PTEs may not be observed until the mode is left.

That may lead to a situation in which otherwise correct reads and writes
to a PTE using ptep_get(), set_pte(), pte_clear() and other access
primitives bring wrong results when the vmalloc shadow memory is being
(de-)populated.

To avoid these hazards leave the lazy MMU mode before and re-enter it
after each PTE manipulation.
