  -fsanitize=kernel-address (KASAN) is at the moment incompatible
with named address spaces - see GCC PR sanitizer/111736.

GCC is doing a KASAN check on a percpu address which it shouldn't do,
and didn't used to do because we did the access using inline asm.

But now that GCC does the accesses as normal (albeit special address
space) memory accesses, the KASAN code triggers on them too, and it
all goes to hell in a handbasket very quickly.

Those percpu accessor functions need to disable any KASAN
checking or other sanitizer checking. Not on the percpu address,
because that's not a "real" address, it's obviously just the offset
from the segment register.

And GCC should probably not have generated such code in the first
place, so arguably this is a bug with -fsanitize=kernel-address.

The patch also removes a stale dependency on CONFIG_SMP.
