Functions which the compiler has instrumented for ASAN place poison on
the stack shadow upon entry and remove this poision prior to returning.

In some cases (e.g. hotplug and idle), CPUs may exit the kernel a number
of levels deep in C code. If there are any instrumented functions on
this critical path, these will leave portions of the stack shadow
poisoned.

If a CPU returns to the kernel via a different path (e.g. a cold entry),
then depending on stack frame layout subsequent calls to instrumented
functions may use regions of the stack with stale poison, resulting in
(spurious) KASAN splats to the console.

To avoid this, we must clear stale poison from the stack prior to
instrumented functions being called. This patch adds functions to the
KASAN core for removing poison from (portions of) a task's stack. These
will be used by subsequent patches to avoid problems with hotplug and
idle.
