kcsan: Add Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer infrastructure
Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic data-race detector for
kernel space. KCSAN is a sampling watchpoint-based data-race detector.
See the included Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst for more details.
This patch adds basic infrastructure, but does not yet enable KCSAN for
any architecture.
