Subject: x86/kasan: Flush TLBs after switching CR3

From: Andrey Ryabinin <[email protected]>

commit 241d2c54c62fa0939fc9a9512b48ac3434e90a89 upstream.

load_cr3() doesn't cause tlb_flush if PGE enabled.

This may cause tons of false positive reports spamming the kernel to death.

To fix this __flush_tlb_all() should be called explicitly after CR3 changed.
