kho: fix KASAN support for restored vmalloc regions

Restored vmalloc regions are currently not properly marked for KASAN,
causing KASAN to treat accesses to these regions as out-of-bounds.

Fix this by properly unpoisoning the restored vmalloc area using
kasan_unpoison_vmalloc().  This requires setting the VM_UNINITIALIZED flag
during the initial area allocation and clearing it after the pages have
been mapped and unpoisoned, using the clear_vm_uninitialized_flag()
helper.
