kernel/memremap, kasan: make ZONE_DEVICE with work with KASAN

KASAN learns about hotadded memory via the memory hotplug notifier.
devm_memremap_pages() intentionally skips calling memory hotplug
notifiers.  So KASAN doesn't know anything about new memory added by
devm_memremap_pages().  This causes a crash when KASAN tries to access
non-existent shadow memory:
