KASAN instrumentation of lockdep has been disabled, as we don't need KASAN to check the validity of lockdep internal data structures and incur unnecessary performance overhead. However, the lockdep_map pointer passed in externally may not be valid (e.g. use-after-free) and we run the risk of using garbage data resulting in false lockdep reports. Add kasan_check_byte() call in lock_acquire() for non kernel core data object to catch invalid lockdep_map and print out a KASAN report before any lockdep splat, if any.

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 reStructuredText 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.
