Functions __kasan_populate_vmalloc() and __kasan_depopulate_vmalloc() use apply_to_pte_range() function, which enters the lazy MMU mode. In that mode updating PTEs may not be observed until the mode is left. That may lead to a situation that otherwise correct reads and writes to a PTE using ptep_get(), set_pte(), pte_clear() and other access primitives bring wrong results when the vmalloc shadow memory is being (de-)populated. To avoid these hazards leave the lazy MMU mode before and re-enter it after each PTE manipulation.
