Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Binaries built w/ asan support hang on arm64. This causes many timeouts during the test phase of a gcc build, causing builds to need ~24 hours to complete.

  [Test Case]
  $ cat test.c
  #include <stdio.h>

  void main() {
    printf("hi.\n");
  }
  $ gcc test.c -g -fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer test.c -o test
  $ ./test
  ==46644==AddressSanitizer CHECK failed: ../../../../src/libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_allocator.h:844 "((res)) < ((kNumPossibleRegions))" (0xffffb4b, 0x8000000)
  [... HANG ...]

  Plus see the tests in the libasan testsuite succeed.

  [Regression Risk]
  None, unless the 48bit-vma support is removed again from the kernel. Can't find the corresponding kernel SRU which explained the regression potential in this kernel change.
