Subject: mm, kcsan: instrument SLAB/SLUB free with "ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS"

Provide the necessary KCSAN checks to assist with debugging racy
use-after-frees.  While KASAN is more reliable at generally catching such
use-after-frees (due to its use of a quarantine), it can be difficult to
debug racy use-after-frees.  If a reliable reproducer exists, KCSAN can
assist in debugging such issues.

Note: ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS is a convenience wrapper if the size is
simply sizeof(var).  Instead, here we just use __kcsan_check_access()
explicitly to pass the correct size.
