[PATCH v2 1/3] vmalloc: add __GFP_SKIP_KASAN support

[Muhammad Usama Anjum]

For allocations that will be accessed only with match-all pointers
(e.g., kernel stacks), setting tags is wasted work. If the caller
already set __GFP_SKIP_KASAN, don’t skip zeroing the pages and
don’t set KASAN_VMALLOC_PROT_NORMAL so kasan_unpoison_vmalloc()
returns early without tagging.

Before this patch, __GFP_SKIP_KASAN wasn't being used with vmalloc
APIs. So it wasn't being checked. Now its being checked and acted
upon. Other KASAN modes are unchanged because __GFP_SKIP_KASAN isn't
defined there.

This is a preparatory patch for optimizing kernel stack allocations.

Changes since v1:
- Simplify skip conditions based on the fact that __GFP_SKIP_KASAN
  is zero in non-hw-tags mode.
- Add __GFP_SKIP_KASAN to GFP_VMALLOC_SUPPORTED list of flags
