[PATCH v2 1/6] x86_64, init: clear init_level4_pgt earlier

[Andrey Ryabinin <a.ryabinin@samsung.com>]

Currently x86_64_start_kernel() has two kasan related
function calls. The first call maps shadow to early_level4_pgt,
the second maps shadow to init_level4_pgt.

If we move clear_page(init_level4_pgt) earlier, we could hide
kasan low level detail from generic x86_64 initialization code.
The next patch will do it.
