mm, kcsan: instrument SLAB/SLUB free with "ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS"
Provide the necessary KCSAN checks to assist with debugging racy use-after-frees. While KASAN is more reliable at generally catching such use-after-frees (due to its use of a quarantine), it can be difficult to debug racy use-after-frees. If a reliable reproducer exists, KCSAN can assist in debugging such issues. Note: ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS is a convenience wrapper if the size is simply sizeof(var). Instead, here we just use __kcsan_check_access() explicitly to pass the correct size.
