    ms/x86/kasan: Fix boot crash on AMD processors
    
    https://jira.sw.ru/browse/PSBM-26429
    
    From: Andrey Ryabinin <a.ryabinin at samsung.com>
    
    commit d4f86beacc21d538dc41e1fc75a22e084f547edf upstream.
    
    While populating zero shadow wrong bits in upper level page
    tables used. __PAGE_KERNEL_RO that was used for pgd/pud/pmd has
    _PAGE_BIT_GLOBAL set. Global bit is present only in the lowest
    level of the page translation hierarchy (ptes), and it should be
    zero in upper levels.
    
    This bug seems doesn't cause any troubles on Intel cpus, while
    on AMDs it cause kernel crash on boot.
    
    Use _KERNPG_TABLE bits for pgds/puds/pmds to fix this.
