[PATCH] kfence, kcsan: avoid passing -g for tests

From: Marco Elver

Nathan reported that when building with GNU as and a version of clang
that defaults to DWARF5:

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-linux-gnu- \
LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=0 O=build \
mrproper allmodconfig mm/kfence/kfence_test.o
/tmp/kfence_test-08a0a0.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/kfence_test-08a0a0.s:14627: Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported
/tmp/kfence_test-08a0a0.s:14628: Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported
/tmp/kfence_test-08a0a0.s:14632: Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported
/tmp/kfence_test-08a0a0.s:14633: Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported
/tmp/kfence_test-08a0a0.s:14639: Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported
...

This is because `-g` defaults to the compiler debug info default. If the
assembler does not support some of the directives used, the above errors
occur. To fix, remove the explicit passing of `-g`.

All these tests want is that stack traces print valid function names,
and debug info is not required for that. I currently cannot recall why I
added the explicit `-g`.
