When CONFIG_KASAN is set, we can run into some code that uses incredible
amounts of kernel stack:

drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_neo.c:1056:1: error: the frame size of 11112 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
drivers/media/i2c/cx25840/cx25840-core.c:4960:1: error: the frame size of 94000 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3430:1: error: the frame size of 5312 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

This happens when a sanitizer uses stack memory each time an inline function
gets called. This introduces a new annotation for those functions to make
them either 'inline' or 'noinline' depending on the CONFIG_KASAN symbol.
