[PATCH v3 1/2] kasan: catch invalid free before SLUB reinitializes the object

[Jann Horn]

Currently, when KASAN is combined with init-on-free behavior, the
initialization happens before KASAN's "invalid free" checks.

More importantly, a subsequent commit will want to use the object metadata
region to store an rcu_head, and we should let KASAN check that the object
pointer is valid before that. (Otherwise that change will make the existing
testcase kmem_cache_invalid_free fail.)

So add a new KASAN hook that allows KASAN to pre-validate a
kmem_cache_free() operation before SLUB actually starts modifying the
object or its metadata.
