It's a randconfig build, I've uploaded one .config to
https://pastebin.com/raw/4TKB9mhs,
but I have other ones if you can't reproduce with that one.

Yes, that is exactly the thing that goes wrong. With clang, __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__
gets set here, but gcc sets __SANITIZE_HWADDRESS__ instead
for CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, so the condition is always true.

I mean this snippet:

#if __has_feature(address_sanitizer) || __has_feature(hwaddress_sanitizer)
/* Emulate GCC's __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ flag */
#define __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__
#endif

Without that, clang sets neither __SANITIZE_ADDRESS__ nor
__SANITIZE_HWADDRESS__

Yes, that might be clearer, but the effect is the same, as no other
compiler defines
those macros.
