kasan: don't call find_vm_area() in a PREEMPT_RT kernel
The following bug report was found when running a PREEMPT_RT debug kernel. BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 140605, name: kunit_try_catch preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 Call trace: rt_spin_lock+0x70/0x140 find_vmap_area+0x84/0x168 find_vm_area+0x1c/0x50 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x2a0/0x320 print_report+0x108/0x1f8 kasan_report+0x90/0xc8 Since commit e30a0361b851 ("kasan: make report_lock a raw spinlock"), report_lock was changed to raw_spinlock_t to fix another similar PREEMPT_RT problem. That alone isn't enough to cover other corner cases. print_address_description() is always invoked under the report_lock. The context under this lock is always atomic even on PREEMPT_RT. find_vm_area() acquires vmap_node::busy.lock which is a spinlock_t, becoming a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT and must not be acquired in atomic context. Don't invoke find_vm_area() on PREEMPT_RT and just print the address. Non-PREEMPT_RT builds remain unchanged. Add a DEFINE_WAIT_OVERRIDE_MAP() macro to tell lockdep that this lock nesting is allowed because the PREEMPT_RT part (which is invalid) has been taken care of. This macro was first introduced in commit 0cce06ba859a ("debugobjects,locking: Annotate debug_object_fill_pool() wait type violation").
