Hrmm, this is not great. I didn't realize that we're testing kmalloc()
specific code, so we can't simply create test-specific caches as in the
other kunit tests.
What if we did create a fake kmalloc cache with the necessary flags and used
it with kmalloc_trace() instead of kmalloc()? We would be bypassing the
kmalloc() inline layer so theoretically orig_size handling bugs could be
introduced there that the test wouldn't catch, but I think that's rather
unlikely. Importantly we would still be stressing the orig_size saving and
the adjusted redzone check using this info.

With the test-specific cache we could also pass SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE there to
handle this. BTW, don't all slub kunit test need to do that in fact?
