kbuild: Switch from -Wvla to -Wvla-larger-than=1

Variable Length Arrays (VLAs) on the stack must not be used in the kernel.
Function parameter VLAs[1] should be usable, but -Wvla will warn for
those. For example, this will produce a warning but it is not using a
stack VLA:

    int something(size_t n, int array[n]) { ...

Clang has no way yet to distinguish between the VLA types[2], so
depend on GCC for now to keep stack VLAs out of the tree by using GCC's
-Wvla-larger-than=N option (though GCC may split -Wvla similarly[3] to
how Clang is planning to).

While GCC 8+ supports -Wvla-larger-than, only 9+ supports ...=0[4],
so use -Wvla-larger-than=1. Adjust mm/kasan/Makefile to remove it from
CFLAGS (GCC <9 appears unable to disable the warning correctly[5]).

The VLA usage in lib/test_ubsan.c was removed in commit 9d7ca61b1366
("lib/test_ubsan.c: VLA no longer used in kernel") so the lib/Makefile
disabling of VLA checking can be entirely removed.
