AFAICS this is insufficient, because the static key may be enabled due to
debugging enabled for different caches than kmalloc, or it might not include
both red zone and object tracking.

But it should be possible to instead create a fake kmalloc cache of size 64
and use __kmalloc_cache_noprof() like test_kmalloc_redzone_access()?

The only downside is that krealloc() here might use kmalloc-128 cache that's
not doing red zoning and object tracking....

... but this test is still valid and necessary

... we might skip this test as the red zoning is not done by __do_krealloc()
anyway in the alloc_new case.

Ideally we'd also validate the fake kmalloc cache we created and expect zero
slab_errors.

Hopefully this approach works and I'm not missing something...
