[PATCH v4] kasan: infer allocation size by scanning metadata

Make KASAN scan metadata to infer the requested allocation size instead of
printing cache->object_size.

This patch fixes confusing slab-out-of-bounds reports as reported in:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216457

As an example of the confusing behavior, the report below hints that the
allocation size was 192, while the kernel actually called kmalloc(184):

==================================================================
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in _find_next_bit+0x143/0x160 lib/find_bit.c:109
Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880175766b8 by task kworker/1:1/26
...
The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888017576600
 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-192 of size 192
The buggy address is located 184 bytes inside of
 192-byte region [ffff888017576600, ffff8880175766c0)
...
Memory state around the buggy address:
 ffff888017576580: fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc
 ffff888017576600: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
>ffff888017576680: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc
                                        ^
 ffff888017576700: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc
 ffff888017576780: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc
==================================================================

With this patch, the report shows:

==================================================================
...
The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888017576600
 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-192 of size 192
The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
 allocated 184-byte region [ffff888017576600, ffff8880175766b8)
...
==================================================================

Also report slab use-after-free bugs as "slab-use-after-free" and print
"freed" instead of "allocated" in the report when describing the accessed
memory region.

Also improve the metadata-related comment in kasan_find_first_bad_addr
and use addr_has_metadata across KASAN code instead of open-coding
KASAN_SHADOW_START checks.

Changes v3->v4:

- Change the author

Changes v2->v3:

- Rename obj_size to alloc_size and change its type to size_t.
- Add comments into kasan_get_alloc_size.
- Infer and report alloc_size for all report types.
- Update metadata-related comment in kasan_find_first_bad_addr for HW_TAGS.
- Use addr_has_metadata for Generic and SW_TAGS modes instead of
  open-coding KASAN_SHADOW_START checks.
- Introduce slab-use-after-free report type.
- Print "freed" when describing memory region for slab-use-after-free bugs.
- Only print memory region state for Generic mode.

Changes v1->v2:

- Implement getting allocated size of object for tag-based kasan.
- Refine the kasan report.
- Check if it is slab-out-of-bounds report type.
- Thanks for Andrey and Dmitry suggestion.
