Subject: [PATCH] mm/kasan: fix kasan_check_read() compiler warning

The kasan_check_read() is marked 'inline', which usually includes
the 'always_inline' attribute. In some configuration, gcc decides that
it cannot inline this, causing a build failure:

In file included from include/linux/compiler.h:257,

kasan_check_read(addr, 1);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While I have no idea why it does this, but changing the call to the
internal __kasan_check_read() fixes the issue.

Thanks, this was fixed more generally in v5:

Sounds like the error `function attribute mismatch` is saying:
kasan_check_read has one set of function attributes, but the call site
read_word_at_a_time has different function attributes, so I wont
inline kasan_check_read into read_word_at_a_time.
__no_kasan_or_inline changes based on CONFIG_KASAN; was this from a
kasan build or not?

Ok, that looks like a better solution indeed. I tried something
similar at first but got it wrong.
