Subject: [PATCH v4] mempool: Do not use ksize() for poisoning

Nothing appears to be using ksize() within the kmalloc-backed mempools
except the mempool poisoning logic. Use the actual pool size instead
of the ksize() to avoid needing any special handling of the memory as
needed by KASAN, UBSAN_BOUNDS, nor FORTIFY_SOURCE.
