[PATCH v2 06/10] kfence, kasan: make KFENCE compatible with KASAN

From: Alexander Potapenko <glider at google.com>

We make KFENCE compatible with KASAN for testing KFENCE itself. In
particular, KASAN helps to catch any potential corruptions to KFENCE
state, or other corruptions that may be a result of freepointer
corruptions in the main allocators.

To indicate that the combination of the two is generally discouraged,
CONFIG_EXPERT=y should be set. It also gives us the nice property that
KFENCE will be build-tested by allyesconfig builds.
