Can't we use the LKDTM_EXHAUST_STACK case to check this?

I was also under the impression that the other KASAN self-tests weren't
fatal, and IIUC this will kill the kernel.

Given that, and given this is testing non-KASAN functionality, I'm not
sure it makes sense to bundle this with the KASAN tests.

Thanks,
Mark.
