This patch enables KCSAN for arm64, with updates to build rules to not use KCSAN for several incompatible compilation units. Recent GCC version(at least GCC10) made outline-atomics as the default option(unlike Clang), which will cause linker errors for kernel/kcsan/core.o. Disables the out-of-line atomics by no-outline-atomics to fix the linker errors. Meanwhile, as Mark said[1], some latent issues are needed to be fixed which isn't just a KCSAN problem, we make the KCSAN depends on EXPERT for now. Tested selftest and kcsan_test(built with GCC11 and Clang 13), and all passed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
