[PATCH v2 0/2] Silence KASAN warnings in get_wchan()

[Andrey Ryabinin]

Originally I suggested to implement READ_ONCE_NOCHECK(), like this:
#define READ_ONCE_NOCHECK(x) \
{(	typeof(x) __val; \
	kasan_disable_local(); \
	__val = READ_ONCE(x); \
	kasan_enable_local(); \
	__val;\
)}

But then I realised that we can't put this into linux/compiler.h
since it requires to add some includes (we need linux/kasan.h which
also requires linux/sched.h). It's not even that simple to put this into kernel.h

So I've come to another approach, see the first patch for details.
Pros:
 - It generates more efficient code rather than variant above
Cons:
 - REAS_ONCE() becomes rather messy.
