We should either add proper Kconfig dependency for now, or just make it work.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: KASAN depends on !(ARM64_16K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_48)

On KASAN + 16K_PAGES + 48BIT_VA
 arch/arm64/mm/kasan_init.c: In function ?kasan_early_init?:
 include/linux/compiler.h:484:38: error: call to ?__compiletime_assert_95? declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: !IS_ALIGNED(KASAN_SHADOW_END, PGDIR_SIZE)
    _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__)

Currently KASAN will not work on 16K_PAGES and 48BIT_VA, so
forbid such configuration to avoid above build failure.
