[RFC PATCH 6/7] kasan: allow arches to hook into global registration

[Daniel Axtens]

Not all arches have a specific space carved out for modules -
some, such as powerpc, just use regular vmalloc space. Therefore,
globals in these modules cannot be backed by real shadow memory.

In order to allow arches to perform this check, add a hook.
