Subject: [PATCH 8/8] kasan: test: avoid corrupting memory in kasan_rcu_uaf

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@...il.com>

kasan_rcu_uaf() writes to freed memory via kasan_rcu_reclaim(), which is
only safe with the GENERIC mode (as it uses quarantine). For other modes,
this test corrupts kernel memory, which might result in a crash.

Turn the write into a read.
