[PATCH] kfence: test: fix for "mm, slub: change run-time assertion in kmalloc_index() to compile-time"

[Marco Elver]

Enable using kmalloc_index() in allocator test modules again where the
size may be non-constant, while ensuring normal usage always passes a
constant size.

Split the definition into __kmalloc_index(size, size_is_constant), and a
definition of kmalloc_index(s), matching the old kmalloc_index()
interface, but that still requires size_is_constant==true. This ensures
that normal usage of kmalloc_index() always passes a constant size.

While the __-prefix should make it clearer that the function is to be
used with care, also rewrite the "Note" to highlight the restriction
(and add a hint to kmalloc_slab()).

The alternative considered here is to export kmalloc_slab(), but given
it is internal to mm/ and not in <linux/slab.h>, we should probably
avoid exporting it. Allocator test modules will work just fine by using
__kmalloc_index(s, false).
