Subject: [PATCH 07/26] brcmsmac: reduce stack size with KASAN

The wlc_phy_table_write_nphy/wlc_phy_table_read_nphy functions always put an object
on the stack, which will each require a redzone with KASAN and lead to possible
stack overflow:

drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmsmac/phy/phy_n.c: In function 'wlc_phy_workarounds_nphy':
drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmsmac/phy/phy_n.c:17135:1: warning: the frame size of 6312 bytes is larger than 1000 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This marks the two functions as noinline_for_kasan, avoiding the problem entirely.
