The parameter kfence_sample_interval can be set via boot parameter
and late shell command. However, KFENCE test case just use compile
time CONFIG_KFENCE_SAMPLE_INTERVAL, this will make KFENCE test case
not run as user desired. This patch will make KFENCE test case
compatible with run-time-set sample interval.

While it would make some situations more convenient, I've wanted to
avoid exporting a new symbol just for the test. And in most cases it
only makes sense to run the test on a custom debug kernel.

Why do you need this?
To automatically do more tests.

Should you really need this, I suggest at least using
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. Should you want it, you can resend this patch
standalone detached from the rest.

Thanks,

When KFENCE pool size can be adjusted by boot parameters(assumption),
automatically test and train KFENCE may be useful. So far, exporting
kfence.sample_interval is not necessary.
