kasan: clean up kasan_requires_meta

Browse source

Currently, for Generic KASAN mode, kasan_requires_meta is defined to
return kasan_stack_collection_enabled.

Even though the Generic mode does not support disabling stack trace
collection, kasan_requires_meta was implemented in this way to make it
easier to implement the disabling for the Generic mode in the future.

However, for the Generic mode, the per-object metadata also stores the
quarantine link.  So even if disabling stack collection is implemented,
the per-object metadata will still be required.

Fix kasan_requires_meta to return true for the Generic mode and update the
related comments.

This change does not fix any observable bugs but rather just brings the
code to a cleaner state.
