Subject: [GIT PULL] meminit fix for v5.3-rc2

Hi Linus,

Please pull this meminit fix for v5.3-rc2. This is late in the -rc2
window because I got confused about whether I or akpm was taking this
patch. I noticed it still wasn't in -mm, so here it is. It's a small
Kconfig change that fixes a bunch of build warnings under KASAN and the
gcc-plugin-based stack auto-initialization features (which are arguably
redundant, so better to let KASAN control this).

Thanks!

-Kees
