[PATCH] powerpc/kasan: Fix early region not updated correctly

The shadow's page table is not updated when PTE_RPN_SHIFT is 24
and PAGE_SHIFT is 12. It not only causes false positives but
also false negative as shown the following text.

Fix it by bringing the logic of kasan_early_shadow_page_entry here.

1. False Positive:

2. False Negative (with KASAN tests):
==================================================================
Before fix:
    ok 45 - kmalloc_double_kzfree
    # vmalloc_oob: EXPECTATION FAILED at lib/test_kasan.c:1039
    KASAN failure expected in "((volatile char *)area)[3100]", but none occurred
    not ok 46 - vmalloc_oob
    not ok 1 - kasan

==================================================================
After fix:
    ok 1 - kasan
