Wouldn't IS_ALIGNED(addr, KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE) be more appropriate?

But I'm not really sure what the original code is trying to do.

        if ((addr + 7) & 7) >= 7)

can only evaluate true if ((addr + 7) & 7) equals 7, so the ">=" could
be "==".

I think.  The code looks a bit weird.  A code comment would help.

And how come memory_is_poisoned_16() does IS_ALIGNED(addr, 8)?  Should
it be 16?
