Is this needed?
At least in the slab patch I see that we do :

if (kfence_free(objp)) {
  kmemleak_free_recursive(objp, cachep->flags);
  return;
}

before:

/* Put the object into the quarantine, don't touch it for now. */ /*
Put the object into the quarantine, don't touch it for now. */
if (kasan_slab_free(cachep, objp, _RET_IP_)) if
(kasan_slab_free(cachep, objp, _RET_IP_))
  return; return;


If it's not supposed to be triggered, it can make sense to replace
with BUG/WARN.
