The files touched are only in x86. The title mentions 'net' -- is this
still accurate?

When would it be desirable to use GENERIC_CSUM without KMSAN or KASAN?
If it is generally a bad idea to disable GENERIC_CSUM with KMSAN and
KASAN, does it make more sense to just remove this config option and
unconditionally (if CONFIG_K{A,M}SAN) use the asm-generic version in
checksum.h?
This would simplify this patch and avoid introducing a config option
that will likely never be set explicitly.
