Some code comments here would be useful. What they do, why they exist,
etc. The next patch fills them in with
kasan_disable_local/kasan_enable_local but that doesn't help the reader
to understand what's going on. The fact that
kasan_disable_local/kasan_enable_local are also undocumented doesn't
help.
