[PATCH] Disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y

[Andrey Ryabinin]

When the kernel compiled with KASAN=y, GCC adds redzones
for each variable on stack. This enlarges function's stack
frame and causes:
	'warning: the frame size of X bytes is larger than Y bytes'

The worst case I've seen for now is following:
 ../net/wireless/nl80211.c: In function ânl80211_send_wiphyâ:
 ../net/wireless/nl80211.c:1731:1: warning: the frame size of 5448 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  }
   ^
That kind of warning becomes useless with KASAN=y. It doesn't necessarily
indicate that there is some problem in the code, thus we should turn it off.
