Subject: [PATCH v2] lib/crypto: curve25519-hacl64: Fix older clang KASAN
 workaround for GCC

Commit 2f13daee2a72 ("lib/crypto/curve25519-hacl64: Disable KASAN with
clang-17 and older") inadvertently disabled KASAN in curve25519-hacl64.o
for GCC unconditionally because clang-min-version will always evaluate
to nothing for GCC. Add a check for CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG to avoid applying
the workaround for GCC, which is only needed for clang-17 and older.

- Check for CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG explicitly instead of using
  CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC as "not clang" (Eric).
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20251102-curve25519-hacl64-fix-kasan-workaround-v1-1-6ec6738f9741@kernel.org
