arm64: Kconfig: select KASAN_VMALLOC if KANSAN_GENERIC is enabled
Before this patch, someone who wants to use VMAP_STACK when KASAN_GENERIC enabled must explicitly select KASAN_VMALLOC. >From Will's suggestion [1]: > I would _really_ like to move to VMAP stack unconditionally, and > that would effectively force KASAN_VMALLOC to be set if KASAN is in use Because VMAP_STACK now depends on either HW_TAGS or KASAN_VMALLOC if KASAN enabled, in order to make VMAP_STACK selected unconditionally, we bind KANSAN_GENERIC and KASAN_VMALLOC together. Note that SW_TAGS supports neither VMAP_STACK nor KASAN_VMALLOC now, so this is the first step to make VMAP_STACK selected unconditionally. Bind KANSAN_GENERIC and KASAN_VMALLOC together is supposed to cost more memory at runtime, thus the alternative is using SW_TAGS KASAN instead.
