[PATCH 38/43] x86: fs: kmsan: disable CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS

[Alexander Potapenko]

dentry_string_cmp() calls read_word_at_a_time(), which might read
uninitialized bytes to optimize string comparisons.
Disabling CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS should prohibit this optimization,
as well as (probably) similar ones.
