Merge branch 'slab/for-6.2/kmalloc_redzone' into slab/for-next

kmalloc() redzone improvements by Feng Tang

From cover letter [1]:

kmalloc's API family is critical for mm, and one of its nature is that
it will round up the request size to a fixed one (mostly power of 2).
When user requests memory for '2^n + 1' bytes, actually 2^(n+1) bytes
could be allocated, so there is an extra space than what is originally
requested.

This patchset tries to extend the redzone sanity check to the extra
kmalloced buffer than requested, to better detect un-legitimate access
to it. (depends on SLAB_STORE_USER & SLAB_RED_ZONE)
