Issue: when SLUB debug is on, hwtag kasan_unpoison() would overwrite
the redzone of object with unaligned size.

An additional memzero_explicit() path is added to replacing init by
hwtag instruction for those unaligned size at SLUB debug mode.

The penalty is acceptable since they are only enabled in debug mode,
not production builds. A block of comment is added for explanation.

In future, please add changes to each version after an additional '---'.
Example:

---
v2:
* Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG) in if-statement.

I think this solution might be fine for now, as I don't see an easy way
to do this without some major refactor to use kmem_cache_debug_flags().

However, I think there's an intermediate solution where we only check
the static-key 'slub_debug_enabled' though. Because I've checked, and
various major distros _do_ enabled CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG. But the static
branch just makes sure there's no performance overhead.

Checking the static branch requires including mm/slab.h into
mm/kasan/kasan.h, which we currently don't do and perhaps wanted to
avoid. Although I don't see a reason there, because there's no circular
dependency even if we did.

Andrey, any opinion?

In case you guys think checking static key is the better solution, I
think the below would work together with the pre-requisite patch at the
end:

Subject: [PATCH] mm: introduce helper to check slub_debug_enabled

Introduce a helper to check slub_debug_enabled, so that we can confine
the use of #ifdef to the definition of the slub_debug_enabled_unlikely()
helper.

Most likely this won't be a problem. We already include ../slab.h into
many mm/kasan/*.c files.

I like this approach. Easy to implement and is better than checking
only CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.

Thanks, Marco!
