Available CAS primitives/compiler do not support CAS with bitfield. I propose
to change kasan_alloc_meta to:

struct kasan_alloc_meta {
        struct kasan_track track;
        u16 size_delta;         /* object_size - alloc size */
        u8 state;                    /* enum kasan_state */
        u8 reserved1;
        u32 reserved2;
}

This shrinks _used_ meta object by 1 byte wrt the original. (btw, patch v1 does
not increase overall alloc meta object size). "Alloc size", where needed, is
easily calculated as a delta from cache->object_size.
