arm64: Enable KCSAN

Browse source

This patch enables KCSAN for arm64, with updates to build rules
to not use KCSAN for several incompatible compilation units.

Recent GCC version(at least GCC10) made outline-atomics as the
default option(unlike Clang), which will cause linker errors
for kernel/kcsan/core.o. Disables the out-of-line atomics by
no-outline-atomics to fix the linker errors.

Meanwhile, as Mark said[1], some latent issues are needed to be
fixed which isn't just a KCSAN problem, we make the KCSAN depends
on EXPERT for now.

Tested selftest and kcsan_test(built with GCC11 and Clang 13),
and all passed.
