I think this change as is does not work well with slub_debug.
slub_debug puts its metadata (redzone, tracks, and orig_size) right
after the object (see calculate_sizes and the comment before
check_pad_bytes). With the current code, KASAN's free meta either fits
within the object or is placed after the slub_debug metadata and
everything works well. With this change, KASAN's free meta tail goes
right past object_size, overlaps with the slub_debug metadata, and
thus can corrupt it.
Thus, to make this patch work properly, we need to carefully think
about all metadatas layout and teach slub_debug that KASAN's free meta
can go past object_size. Possibly, adjusting s->inuse by the size of
KASAN's metas (along with moving kasan_cache_create and fixing up
set_orig_size) would be enough. But I'm not familiar with the
slub_debug code enough to be sure.
If you decide to proceed with improving this change, I've left some
comments for the current code below.
Thank you!

This needs to be changed as well to something like min(cache->object,
sizeof(struct kasan_free_meta)). However, with the slub_debug
conflicts I mentioned above, we might need to change this to something
else.
