It just occurred to me that all of these (except kasan_arg_mode) are
only used by __init functions, so they could actually be marked
__initdata instead of __ro_after_init to free up some bytes after init.

Not sure if you think it's worth it, I leave it to you.

The KASAN_ARG_STACKTRACE_DEFAULT and KASAN_ARG_VMALLOC_ON cases can be
combined.
