[PATCH 1/2] arm64: kasan: do not instrument stacktrace.c

[andrey . konovalov]

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>

Disable KASAN instrumentation of arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c.

This speeds up Generic KASAN by 5-20%.

As a side-effect, KASAN is now unable to detect bugs in the stack trace
collection code. This is taken as an acceptable downside.

Also replace READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() with READ_ONCE() in stacktrace.c.
As the file is now not instrumented, there is no need to use the
NOCHECK version of READ_ONCE().
