Hmm, I think what I have is correct: if the allocator supports the
heap object checking, it defines __check_heap_object as existing via
CONFIG_HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR. If usercopy checking is done
at all is controlled by CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY.
I.e. you can have the other usercopy checks even if your allocator
doesn't support object size checking.
