I think we can extend the kasan_populate_early_shadow() call above up to
shadow_cea_per_cpu_begin point, instead of this.
populate_early_shadow() maps single RO zeroed page. No one should write to the shadow for IDT.
KASAN only needs writable shadow for linear mapping/stacks/vmalloc/global variables.
