Deduplication of kasan_enabled() checks which are already used by callers.
* Altered functions:
check_page_allocation
Delete the check because callers have it already in __wrappers in
include/linux/kasan.h:
__kasan_kfree_large
__kasan_mempool_poison_pages
__kasan_mempool_poison_object
kasan_populate_vmalloc, kasan_release_vmalloc
Add __wrappers in include/linux/kasan.h.
They are called externally in mm/vmalloc.c.
__kasan_unpoison_vmalloc, __kasan_poison_vmalloc
Delete checks because there're already kasan_enabled() checks
in respective __wrappers in include/linux/kasan.h.
release_free_meta -- Delete the check because the higher caller path
has it already. See the stack trace:
__kasan_slab_free -- has the check already
__kasan_mempool_poison_object -- has the check already
poison_slab_object
kasan_save_free_info
release_free_meta
kasan_enabled() -- Delete here

Awesome, thank you!
I believe the check in kasan_byte_accessible() can be just removed as
well? If you do, please run the tests to be sure.
As for the other three (check_inline_region(), kasan_poison(), and
kasan_poison_last_granule()) - perhaps, we can leave them be.
Otherwise, we would need to duplicate the kasan_enabled() checks in a
lot of compiler-inserted functions.
