I kind of worry there is no type checking at the same time we are
unpoisoning a constant-size range. Seems easy to misuse the API. But it
does look much better now with elem_size cached inside io_alloc_cache.

Nit, but you could have added an empty definition in the #else section
that already exists in the file, or just guarded the caching code
entirely when CONFIG_NET=n.

Just nits, and overall it is good to have this KASAN support!
