As reported by kernelci, some functions in the VT code use significant
amounts of kernel stack when local variables get inlined into the caller
multiple times:
drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c: In function 'kbd_keycode':
drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:1452:1: error: the frame size of 2240 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
Annotating those functions as noinline_for_kasan prevents the inlining
and reduces the overall stack usage in this driver.
