Subject: [PATCH] mm: kmsan: fix instrumentation recursion on preempt_count

This disables msan check for preempt_count_{add,sub} to fix a
instrumentation recursion issue on preempt_count:

  __msan_metadata_ptr_for_load_4() -> kmsan_virt_addr_valid() ->
	preempt_disable() -> __msan_metadata_ptr_for_load_4()

With this fix, I was able to run kmsan kernel with:
  o CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=n
  o CONFIG_KFENCE=n
  o CONFIG_LOCKDEP=n

KMEMLEAK and KFENCE generate too many false positives in unwinding code.
LOCKDEP still introduces instrumenting recursions issue. But these are
other issues expected to be fixed.
