asan-stack mode still uses dangerously large kernel stacks of
tens of kilobytes in some drivers, and it does not seem that anyone
is working on the clang bug.
Turn it off for all clang versions to prevent users from
accidentally enabling it once they update to clang-9, and
to help automated build testing with clang-9.

v2: disable the feature for all clang versions, not just 9 and below.
