Subject: [PATCH -next] kasan: fix -Wstringop-overflow warning

Compiling with gcc-9.2.1 points out below warnings.

In function 'memmove',
    inlined from 'kmalloc_memmove_invalid_size' at lib/test_kasan.c:301:2:
include/linux/string.h:441:9: warning: '__builtin_memmove' specified
bound 18446744073709551614 exceeds maximum object size
9223372036854775807 [-Wstringop-overflow=]

Why generate this warnings?
Because our test function deliberately pass a negative number in memmove(),
so we need to make it "volatile" so that compiler doesn't see it.
