Subject: mempool: introduce mempool_use_prealloc_only
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 23:28:59 +0100
Introduce a new mempool_alloc_preallocated API that asks the mempool to
only use the elements preallocated during the mempool's creation when
allocating and to not attempt allocating new ones from the underlying
allocator.
This API is required to test the KASAN poisoning/unpoisoning functionality
in KASAN tests, but it might be also useful on its own.
