Subject: x86/kasan: Fix boot with KASAN=y and PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES=y

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>

commit be3606ff739d1c1be36389f8737c577ad87e1f57 upstream.

The kernel doesn't boot with both PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES=y and KASAN=y
options selected. With branch profiling enabled we end up calling
ftrace_likely_update() before kasan_early_init(). ftrace_likely_update() is
built with KASAN instrumentation, so calling it before kasan has been
initialized leads to crash.

Use DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING define to make sure that we don't call
ftrace_likely_update() from early code before kasan_early_init().
