David Hildenbrand 56531761d4 kfence: drop nth_page() usage
We want to get rid of nth_page(), and kfence init code is the last user.

Unfortunately, we might actually walk a PFN range where the pages are not
contiguous, because we might be allocating an area from memblock that
could span memory sections in problematic kernel configs (SPARSEMEM
without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP).

We could check whether the page range is contiguous using
page_range_contiguous() and failing kfence init, or making kfence
incompatible these problemtic kernel configs.

Let's keep it simple and simply use pfn_to_page() by iterating PFNs.
