Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ubsan: Add trap instrumentation option

The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer can operate in two modes: warning
reporting mode via lib/ubsan.c handler calls, or trap mode, which uses
__builtin_trap() as the handler. Using lib/ubsan.c means the kernel
image is about 5% larger (due to all the debugging text and reporting
structures to capture details about the warning conditions). Using the
trap mode, the image size changes are much smaller, though at the loss
of the "warning only" mode.

In order to give greater flexibility to system builders that want
minimal changes to image size and are prepared to deal with kernel
threads being killed, this introduces CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP. The resulting
image sizes comparison:

   text    data     bss       dec       hex     filename
19533663   6183037  18554956  44271656  2a38828 vmlinux.stock
19991849   7618513  18874448  46484810  2c54d4a vmlinux.ubsan
19712181   6284181  18366540  44362902  2a4ec96 vmlinux.ubsan-trap

CONFIG_UBSAN=y:      image +4.8% (text +2.3%, data +18.9%)
CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y: image +0.2% (text +0.9%, data +1.6%)
