Round up allocations with kmalloc_size_roundup() so that mempool's use
of ksize() is always accurate and no special handling of the memory is
needed by KASAN, UBSAN_BOUNDS, nor FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Hm it is kinda wasteful to call into kmalloc_size_roundup for every 
allocation that has the same input. We could do it just once in 
mempool_init_node() for adjusting pool->pool_data ?

But looking more closely, I wonder why poison_element() and 
kasan_unpoison_element() in mm/mempool.c even have to use 
ksize()/__ksize() and not just operate on the requested size (again, 
pool->pool_data). If no kmalloc mempool's users use ksize() to write 
beyond requested size, then we don't have to unpoison/poison that area 
either?

Yeah, I think that's a fair point. I will adjust this.
