Subject: [PATCH] kcsan: test: don't put the expect array on the stack

Size of the 'expect' array in the __report_matches is 1536 bytes, which
is exactly the default frame size warning limit of the xtensa
architecture.
As a result allmodconfig xtensa kernel builds with the gcc that does not
support the compiler plugins (which otherwise would push the said
warning limit to 2K) fail with the following message:

  kernel/kcsan/kcsan_test.c:257:1: error: the frame size of 1680 bytes
    is larger than 1536 bytes

Fix it by dynamically alocating the 'expect' array.
