[PATCH 5/6] notifiers: Use CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() on checks

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Mar 06 2017 - 14:10:39 EST


When performing notifier function pointer sanity checking, allow
CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION to upgrade from a WARN to a BUG.
Additionally enables CONFIG_DEBUG_NOTIFIERS when selecting
CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION.

Enable this to turn on sanity checking for notifier call chains.
