Vasily Gorbik cc00550b2a Revert "s390/mm: Allow large pages for KASAN shadow mapping" 
This reverts commit ff123eb774.

Allowing large pages for KASAN shadow mappings isn't inherently wrong,
but adding POPULATE_KASAN_MAP_SHADOW to large_allowed() exposes an issue
in can_large_pud() and can_large_pmd().

Since commit d8073dc6bc ("s390/mm: Allow large pages only for aligned
physical addresses"), both can_large_pud() and can_large_pmd() call _pa()
to check if large page physical addresses are aligned. However, _pa()
has a side effect: it allocates memory in POPULATE_KASAN_MAP_SHADOW
mode. This results in massive memory leaks.

The proper fix would be to address both large_allowed() and _pa()'s side
effects, but for now, revert this change to avoid the leaks.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
