Thanks.
There is nothing wrong with this patch, it just uncovered older bug.
The actual problem comes from f06bdd4001c2 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size")
which is made kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) potentially unaligned to page boundary.
And when we feed unaligned address to kasan_populate_zero_shadow() it doesn't do the right thing.

Could you tell me if the fix bellow works for you?
