[PATCH v2 10/13] lkdtm/stackleak: prevent unexpected stack usage

[Mark Rutland]

The lkdtm_STACKLEAK_ERASING() test is instrumentable and runs with IRQs
unmasked, so it's possible for unrelated code to clobber the task stack
and/or manipulate current->lowest_stack while the test is running,
resulting in spurious failures.

The regular stackleak erasing code is non-instrumentable and runs with
IRQs masked, preventing similar issues.

Make the body of the test non-instrumentable, and run it with IRQs
masked, avoiding such spurious failures.
