Subject: [PATCH 2/3] lib/Kconfig.debug: disable LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT under KMSAN

At least on x86 KMSAN is seriously slown down by lockdep, as every
pfn_valid() call (which is done on every instrumented memory access
in the kernel) performs several lockdep checks, all of which, in turn,
perform additional memory accesses and call KMSAN instrumentation.

Right now lockdep overflows the stack under KMSAN, but even if we use
reentrancy counters to avoid the recursion on the KMSAN side, the slowdown
from lockdep remains big enough for the kernel to become unusable.
