Subject: [PATCH] kunit: kasan_test: disable fortify string checker on
 kasan_strings() test

Similar to commit 09c6304e38e4 ("kasan: test: fix compatibility with
FORTIFY_SOURCE") the kernel is panicing in kasan_string().

This is due to the `src` and `ptr` not being hidden from the optimizer
which would disable the runtime fortify string checker.
