I would expect this to pass with v6.1-rc1 when used with the above two
patches added, but it seems those _did_ pass, but not the k*alloc()
helpers for you? That is curious. Here's my testing:

$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch x86_64 \
	--kconfig_add CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y --make_options LLVM=1 fortify
