Subject: [PATCH v2] kfence: enable check kfence canary in panic via boot param

From: huangshaobo <huangshaobo6@...wei.com>

when writing out of bounds to the red zone, it can only be
detected at kfree. However, the system may have been reset
before freeing the memory, which would result in undetected
oob. Therefore, it is necessary to detect oob behavior in
panic. Since only the allocated mem call stack is available,
it may be difficult to find the oob maker. Therefore, this
feature is disabled by default and can only be enabled via
boot parameter.

v2:
- it is only detected in panic.
- it is disabled by default.
- can only be enabled via boot parameter.
- the code is moved to the specified partition.
Thanks to Marco for the valuable modification suggestion.
