The problem with 'no_sanitize_address' attribute is incompatibility with inlining. 
GCC can't inline function with that attribute into function without it.
And the contrary is also true - GCC can't inline function without attribute into function with such attribute.

Failure to inline always_inline function leads to build failure.
And under CONFIG_OPTIMIZE=n 'inline' means 'always_inline'.

include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:

#if !defined(CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPTIMIZED_INLINING) ||		\
    !defined(CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING) || (__GNUC__ < 4)
#define inline		inline		__attribute__((always_inline)) notrace
