arm64: efi: Fix KASAN false positive for EFI runtime stack
KASAN reports invalid accesses during arch_stack_walk() for EFI runtime services due to vmalloc tagging[1]. The EFI runtime stack must be allocated with KASAN tags reset to avoid false positives. This patch uses arch_alloc_vmap_stack() instead of __vmalloc_node() for EFI stack allocation, which internally calls kasan_reset_tag() The changes ensure EFI runtime stacks are properly sanitized for KASAN while maintaining functional consistency.
