Would it be possible to get lockdep to allow taking spinlock_t inside
raw_spinlock_t instead of annotating the callers for the !RT case? Or
is this a rare thing for this to be allowed on !RT?

No need for the kasan_ prefix: this is a static function. (Also the
_ret_* suffix is something I've never seen before in the kernel
context, but I don't mind it.)
