I don't understand why these two patches exist.  Bugfix?  Cleanup? 
Optimization?


I had to change kmalloc_tests_init() a bit due to
mm-kasan-initial-memory-quarantine-implementation.patch:

        kasan_stack_oob();
        kasan_global_oob();
 #ifdef CONFIG_SLAB
        kasan_quarantine_cache();
 #endif
+       ksize_unpoisons_memory();
        return -EAGAIN;
 }

Please check.
