mm: slub: introduce metadata_access_enable()/metadata_access_disable()
It's ok for slub to access memory that marked by kasan as inaccessible
(object's metadata). Kasan shouldn't print report in that case because
these accesses are valid. Disabling instrumentation of slub.c code is not
enough to achieve this because slub passes pointer to object's metadata
into external functions like memchr_inv().
We don't want to disable instrumentation for memchr_inv() because this is
quite generic function, and we don't want to miss bugs.
metadata_access_enable/metadata_access_disable used to tell KASan where
accesses to metadata starts/end, so we could temporarily disable KASan
reports.
