Commit e30a0361b851 ("kasan: make report_lock a raw spinlock")
changes report_lock to a raw_spinlock_t to avoid a similar RT problem.
The print_address_description() function is called with report_lock
acquired and interrupt disabled.  However, the find_vm_area() function
still needs to acquire a spinlock_t which becomes a sleeping lock in
the RT kernel. IOW, we can't call find_vm_area() in a RT kernel and
changing report_lock to a raw_spinlock_t is not enough to completely
solve this RT kernel problem.

Fix this bug report by skipping the find_vm_area() call in this case
and just print out the address as is.

For !RT kernel, follow the example set in commit 0cce06ba859a
("debugobjects,locking: Annotate debug_object_fill_pool() wait type
violation") and use DEFINE_WAIT_OVERRIDE_MAP() to avoid a spinlock_t
inside raw_spinlock_t warning.
Would it be possible to get lockdep to allow taking spinlock_t inside
raw_spinlock_t instead of annotating the callers for the !RT case? Or
is this a rare thing for this to be allowed on !RT?

No need for the kasan_ prefix: this is a static function. (Also the
_ret_* suffix is something I've never seen before in the kernel
context, but I don't mind it.)

Sorry for missing that. Yes, I can remove the prefix. Will post a v3.

Cheers,
