Subject: mempool: skip slub_debug poisoning when KASAN is enabled
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 23:28:57 +0100

With the changes in the following patch, KASAN starts saving its metadata
within freed mempool elements.

Thus, skip slub_debug poisoning and checking of mempool elements when
KASAN is enabled.  Corruptions of freed mempool elements will be detected
by KASAN anyway.
