kasan: modify kmalloc_large_oob_right(), add kmalloc_pagealloc_oob_right()



This patchset implements SLAB support for KASAN

Unlike SLUB, SLAB doesn't store allocation/deallocation stacks for heap
objects, therefore we reimplement this feature in mm/kasan/stackdepot.c.
The intention is to ultimately switch SLUB to use this implementation as
well, which will save a lot of memory (right now SLUB bloats each object
by 256 bytes to store the allocation/deallocation stacks).

Also neither SLUB nor SLAB delay the reuse of freed memory chunks, which
is necessary for better detection of use-after-free errors.  We
introduce memory quarantine (mm/kasan/quarantine.c), which allows
delayed reuse of deallocated memory.

This patch (of 7):

Rename kmalloc_large_oob_right() to kmalloc_pagealloc_oob_right(), as
the test only checks the page allocator functionality.  Also reimplement
kmalloc_large_oob_right() so that the test allocates a large enough
chunk of memory that still does not trigger the page allocator fallback.
