[v5,0/2] allow KASAN to detect UAF in SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU slabs

Hi!

The purpose of the series is to allow KASAN to detect use-after-free
access in SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU slab caches, by essentially making them
behave as if the cache was not SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU but instead every
kfree() in the cache was a kfree_rcu().
This is gated behind a config flag that is supposed to only be enabled
in fuzzing/testing builds where the performance impact doesn't matter.

Output of the new kunit testcase I added to the KASAN test suite:

Changes in v5:
- rebase to latest origin/master (akpm), no other changes from v4
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v4:
- note I kept vbabka's ack for the SLUB changes in patch 1/2 since the
  SLUB part didn't change, even though I refactored a bunch of the
  KASAN parts
- in patch 1/2 (major rework):
  - fix commit message (Andrey)
  - add doc comments in header (Andrey)
  - remove "ip" argument from __kasan_slab_free()
  - rework the whole check_slab_free() thing and move code around (Andrey)
- in patch 2/2:
  - kconfig description and dependency changes (Andrey)
  - remove useless linebreak (Andrey)
  - fix comment style (Andrey)
  - fix do_slab_free() invocation (kernel test robot)
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v3:
- in patch 1/2, integrate akpm's fix for !CONFIG_KASAN build failure
- in patch 2/2, as suggested by vbabka, use dynamically allocated
  rcu_head to avoid having to add slab metadata
- in patch 2/2, add a warning in the kconfig help text that objects can
  be recycled immediately under memory pressure
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v2:
Patch 1/2 is new; it's some necessary prep work for the main patch to
work, though the KASAN integration maybe is a bit ugly.
Patch 2/2 is a rebased version of the old patch, with some changes to
how the config is wired up, with poison/unpoison logic added as
suggested by dvyukov@ back then, with cache destruction fixed using
rcu_barrier() as pointed out by dvyukov@ and the test robot, and a test
added as suggested by elver@.
