Subject: [PATCH v3 15/34] mm: slub: Unpoison the memchr_inv() return value

Even though the KMSAN warnings generated by memchr_inv() are suppressed
by metadata_access_enable(), its return value may still be poisoned.

The reason is that the last iteration of memchr_inv() returns
`*start != value ? start : NULL`, where *start is poisoned. Because of
this, somewhat counterintuitively, the shadow value computed by
visitSelectInst() is equal to `(uintptr_t)start`.

The intention behind guarding memchr_inv() behind
metadata_access_enable() is to touch poisoned metadata without
triggering KMSAN, so unpoison its return value.
