Subject: mm/page_alloc: silence a KASAN false positive
kernel_init_free_pages() will use memset() on s390 to clear all pages from
kmalloc_order() which will override KASAN redzones because a redzone was
setup from the end of the allocation size to the end of the last page.
Silence it by not reporting it there. An example of the report is,
