KASAN_SHADOW_START and KASAN_SHADOW_END depend on __VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT,
which is dynamic for boot-time switching case. It means we cannot
initialize the corresponding address_markers fields compile-time, so we do
it boot-time.

I used the same approach we use to deal with dynamic VMALLOC_START,
VMEMMAP_START and PAGE_OFFSET.
