    kasan/test: avoid gcc warning for intentional overflow
    
    [ Upstream commit e10aea105e9ed14b62a11844fec6aaa87c6935a3 ]
    
    The out-of-bounds test allocates an object that is three bytes too short
    in order to validate the bounds checking.  Starting with gcc-14, this
    causes a compile-time warning as gcc has grown smart enough to understand
    the sizeof() logic:
    
    mm/kasan/kasan_test.c: In function 'kmalloc_oob_16':
    mm/kasan/kasan_test.c:443:14: error: allocation of insufficient size '13' for type 'struct <anonymous>' with size '16' [-Werror=alloc-size]
      443 |         ptr1 = kmalloc(sizeof(*ptr1) - 3, GFP_KERNEL);
          |              ^
    
    Hide the actual computation behind a RELOC_HIDE() that ensures
    the compiler misses the intentional bug.
