Subject: [PATCH kcsan 3/3] kcsan: Fix encoding masks and regain address bit

From: Marco Elver <elver@...gle.com>

The watchpoint encoding masks for size and address were off-by-one bit
each, with the size mask using 1 unnecessary bit and the address mask
missing 1 bit. However, due to the way the size is shifted into the
encoded watchpoint, we were effectively wasting and never using the
extra bit.

For example, on x86 with PAGE_SIZE==4K, we have 1 bit for the is-write
bit, 14 bits for the size bits, and then 49 bits left for the address.
Prior to this fix we would end up with this usage:

	[ write<1> | size<14> | wasted<1> | address<48> ]

Fix it by subtracting 1 bit from the GENMASK() end and start ranges of
size and address respectively. The added static_assert()s verify that
the masks are as expected. With the fixed version, we get the expected
usage:

	[ write<1> | size<14> |             address<49> ]

Functionally no change is expected, since that extra address bit is
insignificant for enabled architectures.
