So kasan_report() is already marked as being special; and it does the
mandatory user_access_save() / user_access_restore() things to fix it
up.

But it looks like kasan code itself is now getting instrumented by the
stackleak stuff and that inserts a call outside of the
user_access_save()/restore() thing, and *that* is getting flagged.

Looking at mm/kasan/Makefile it disables a lot of the instrumentation,
but perhaps not enough?

I've not yet tried to reproduce, I'm taking this is allyesconfig or
something glorious like that? LLVM-15 ?
