Subject: [PATCH] lkdtm/heap: Hide allocation size from -Warray-bounds

With the kmalloc() size annotations, GCC is smart enough to realize that
LKDTM is intentionally writing past the end of the buffer. This is on
purpose, of course, so hide the buffer from the optimizer. Silences:

../drivers/misc/lkdtm/heap.c: In function 'lkdtm_SLAB_LINEAR_OVERFLOW':
../drivers/misc/lkdtm/heap.c:59:13: warning: array subscript 256 is outside array bounds of 'void[1020]' [-Warray-bounds]
   59 |         data[1024 / sizeof(u32)] = 0x12345678;
      |         ~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
