[PATCH mm 13/21] mempool: skip slub_debug poisoning when KASAN is enabled

[andrey . konovalov]

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>

With the changes in the following patch, KASAN starts saving its metadata
within freed mempool elements.

Thus, skip slub_debug poisoning and checking of mempool elements when
KASAN is enabled. Corruptions of freed mempool elements will be detected
by KASAN anyway.

Signed-off-by: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>
