arm64: Kconfig: select KASAN_VMALLOC if KANSAN_GENERIC is enabled

mainline inclusion
from mainline-v5.13-rc1
commit acc3042d
category: bugfix
bugzilla: 187409, https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5O5YA?from=project-issue
CVE: NA

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=acc3042d62cb92c3776767f09f665511c903ef2d

--------------------------------

Before this patch, someone who wants to use VMAP_STACK when
KASAN_GENERIC enabled must explicitly select KASAN_VMALLOC.

>From Will's suggestion [1]:

Because VMAP_STACK now depends on either HW_TAGS or KASAN_VMALLOC if
KASAN enabled, in order to make VMAP_STACK selected unconditionally,
we bind KANSAN_GENERIC and KASAN_VMALLOC together.

Note that SW_TAGS supports neither VMAP_STACK nor KASAN_VMALLOC now,
so this is the first step to make VMAP_STACK selected unconditionally.

Bind KANSAN_GENERIC and KASAN_VMALLOC together is supposed to cost more
memory at runtime, thus the alternative is using SW_TAGS KASAN instead.
