[PATCH mm v4 35/39] kasan: add kasan.vmalloc command line flag

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl at google.com>

Allow disabling vmalloc() tagging for HW_TAGS KASAN via a kasan.vmalloc
command line switch.

This is a fail-safe switch intended for production systems that enable
HW_TAGS KASAN. In case vmalloc() tagging ends up having an issue not
detected during testing but that manifests in production, kasan.vmalloc
allows to turn vmalloc() tagging off while leaving page_alloc/slab
tagging on.

Signed-off-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl at google.com>

Changes v1->v2:
- Mark kasan_arg_stacktrace as __initdata instead of __ro_after_init.
- Combine KASAN_ARG_VMALLOC_DEFAULT and KASAN_ARG_VMALLOC_ON switch
  cases.
