Indeed it is an old bug, I'll send a fix shortly. But the bisection result is not correct. This bug is actually much older.
Note that commit 80a9201a596 changes Kconfig dependency - it removes depends on SLUB_DEBUG from config KASAN section.
And yours config has:
	# CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is not set

So you simply test c146a2b98e with CONFIG_KASAN=n and 80a9201a59 with CONFIG_KASAN=y
