Make KASAN scan metadata to infer the requested allocation size instead of printing cache->object_size. This patch fixes confusing slab-out-of-bounds reports as reported in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216457 As an example of the confusing behavior, the report below hints that the allocation size was 192, while the kernel actually called kmalloc(184): ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in _find_next_bit+0x143/0x160 lib/find_bit.c:109 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880175766b8 by task kworker/1:1/26 ... The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888017576600 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-192 of size 192 The buggy address is located 184 bytes inside of 192-byte region [ffff888017576600, ffff8880175766c0) ...

Also improve the metadata-related comment in kasan_find_first_bad_addr and use addr_has_metadata across KASAN code instead of open-coding KASAN_SHADOW_START checks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
