Provide the current number of vmalloc shadow pages in
/sys/kernel/debug/kasan/vmalloc_shadow_pages.

v8: rename kasan_vmalloc/shadow_pages -> kasan/vmalloc_shadow_pages

On v4 (no dynamic freeing), I saw the following approximate figures
on my test VM:

- fresh boot: 720
- after test_vmalloc: ~14000

With v5 (lazy dynamic freeing):

- boot: ~490-500
- running modprobe test_vmalloc pushes the figures up to sometimes
as high as ~14000, but they drop down to ~560 after the test ends.
I'm not sure where the extra sixty pages are from, but running the
test repeately doesn't cause the number to keep growing, so I don't
think we're leaking.
- with vmap_stack, spawning tasks pushes the figure up to ~4200, then
some clearing kicks in and drops it down to previous levels again.
