Do we actually care about exporting them when KASAN_KUNIT_TEST=n? It
looks weird to have these #ifdefs in the arch code. Either the
arch-kasan API requires these symbols to be exported to modules or not.
I'm not keen on such kasan internals trickling down into the arch code.

If you don't want to export them in the KASAN_KUNIT_TEST=n case, add a
wrapper in the kasan built-in code (e.g. kasan_test_enable_tagging,
kasan_test_set_report_once) and conditionally compile them based on
KASAN_KUNIT_TEST.
