I think we shouldn't select TRACING, which should only be selected by
tracers. You'd need CONFIG_FTRACE=y.

Since FTRACE is rather big, we probably also shouldn't implicitly
select it. Instead, at least when using kunit.py tool, we could add a
mm/kasan/.kunitconfig like:

CONFIG_KUNIT=y
CONFIG_KASAN=y
CONFIG_KASAN_KUNIT_TEST=y
# Additional dependencies.
CONFIG_FTRACE=y

Which mirrors the KFENCE mm/kfence/.kunitconfig. But that doesn't help
if you want to run it with something other than KUnit tool.
