kasan: add CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS
This commit splits the current CONFIG_KASAN config option into two:
1. CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC, that enables the generic KASAN mode (the one
that exists now);
2. CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, that enables the software tag-based KASAN mode.
The name CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS is chosen as in the future we will have
another hardware tag-based KASAN mode, that will rely on hardware memory
tagging support in arm64.
With CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS enabled, compiler options are changed to
instrument kernel files with -fsantize=kernel-hwaddress (except the ones
for which KASAN_SANITIZE := n is set).
Both CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS support both
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE and CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE instrumentation modes.
This commit also adds empty placeholder (for now) implementation of
tag-based KASAN specific hooks inserted by the compiler and adjusts
common hooks implementation.
While this commit adds the CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS config option, this option
is not selectable, as it depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_SW_TAGS, which we will
enable once all the infrastracture code has been added.

- Enables kernel address sanitizer - runtime memory debugger,

- This is strictly a debugging feature and it requires a gcc version
- of 4.9.2 or later. Detection of out of bounds accesses to stack or
- global variables requires gcc 5.0 or later.
- This feature consumes about 1/8 of available memory and brings about
- ~x3 performance slowdown.
+ Enables generic KASAN mode.

+ version 3.7.0 or later and it doesn't support detection of
+ out-of-bounds accesses for global variables yet.
+ This mode consumes about 1/8th of available memory at kernel start
+ and introduces an overhead of ~x1.5 for the rest of the allocations.
