We can do that, although if things are on track to be fixed, maybe it's
unnecessary?

I think it's because e240e53ae0ab makes KASAN depend on !SLUB_TINY, because
KASAN does "select SLUB_DEBUG" which depends on !SLUB_TINY; but kconfig will
still honor the select even with dependencies unmet and only warn about it
(and the build would fail) so I prevented it this way. (maybe instead
SLUB_TINY depend on !KASAN would have worked better in retrospect?) So now
allmodconfig will have SLUB_TINY enabled and KASAN thus disabled.

On the other hand there are configs like KCSAN and KMSAN that depend on
!KASAN, so with KASAN disabled, now those become enabled. KCSAN becoming
enabled would be relevant for the xtensa problem. For the powerpc issue I'm
not sure as the macro expansion lines for include/linux/fortify-string.h in
Guenter's report make no sense in my 6.2-rc1 checkout for some reason. But
the header does test for KASAN and KMSAN at several points, to perhaps it's
also related to that?
