Arnd Bergmann d765108993 ubsan: turn off kmsan inside of ubsan instrumentation
The structure initialization in the two type mismatch handling functions
causes a call to __msan_memset() to be generated inside of a UACCESS
block, which in turn leads to an objtool warning about possibly leaking
uaccess-enabled state:

lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch+0xda: call to __msan_memset() with UACCESS enabled
lib/ubsan.o: warning: objtool: __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1+0xf4: call to __msan_memset() with UACCESS enabled

Most likely __msan_memset() is safe to be called here and could be added
to the uaccess_safe_builtin[] list of safe functions, but seeing that the
ubsan file itself already has kasan, ubsan and kcsan disabled itself, it
is probably a good idea to also turn off kmsan here, in particular this
also avoids the risk of recursing between ubsan and kcsan checks in other
functions of this file.

I saw this happen while testing randconfig builds with clang-22, but did
not try older versions, or attempt to see which kernel change introduced
the warning.
