[PATCH v3 1/2] mm/slub, kunit: add SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE flag for cache creation

[Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com>]

When kfence is enabled, the buffer allocated from the test case
could be from a kfence pool, and the operation could be also
caught and reported by kfence first, causing the case to fail.

With default kfence setting, this is very difficult to be triggered.
By changing CONFIG_KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS from 255 to 16383, and
CONFIG_KFENCE_SAMPLE_INTERVAL from 100 to 5, the allocation from
kfence did hit 7 times in different slub_kunit cases out of 900
times of boot test.

To avoid this, initially we tried is_kfence_address() to check this
and repeated allocation till finding a non-kfence address. Vlastimil
Babka suggested SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE flag could be used to achieve this,
and better add a wrapper function for simplifying cache creation.

Changelog:

  since v2:
    * Don't make SKIP_KFENCE an allowd flag for cache creation, and
      solve a bug of failed cache creation issue (Marco Elver)
    * Add a wrapper cache creation function to simplify code
     including SKIP_KFENCE handling (Vlastimil Babka)
