Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm, slab, kasan: replace kasan_never_merge() with
 SLAB_NO_MERGE

The SLAB_KASAN flag prevents merging of caches in some configurations,
which is handled in a rather complicated way via kasan_never_merge().
Since we now have a generic SLAB_NO_MERGE flag, we can instead use it
for KASAN caches in addition to SLAB_KASAN in those configurations,
and simplify the SLAB_NEVER_MERGE handling.
