Subject: mm, kasan: account for object redzone in SLUB's nearest_obj()

From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com>

commit c146a2b98eb5898eb0fab15a332257a4102ecae9 upstream.

When looking up the nearest SLUB object for a given address, correctly
calculate its offset if SLAB_RED_ZONE is enabled for that cache.

Previously, when KASAN had detected an error on an object from a cache
with SLAB_RED_ZONE set, the actual start address of the object was
miscalculated, which led to random stacks having been reported.

When looking up the nearest SLUB object for a given address, correctly
calculate its offset if SLAB_RED_ZONE is enabled for that cache.
