Subject: [PATCH 4/5] kmsan: make sure PREEMPT_RT is off

As pointed out by Peter Zijlstra, __msan_poison_alloca() does not play
well with IRQ code when PREEMPT_RT is on, because in that mode even
GFP_ATOMIC allocations cannot be performed.

Fixing this would require making stackdepot completely lockless, which
is quite challenging and may be excessive for the time being.

Instead, make sure KMSAN is incompatible with PREEMPT_RT, like other
debug configs are.
