When free_meta_offset is not zero, it is usually aligned on 4 bytes,
because the size of preceding kasan_alloc_meta is aligned on 4 bytes.
As a result, accesses to kasan_free_meta fields may be misaligned.

This cannot work.
Well, it does, at least on my tests.
I slightly changed metadata layout in http://lkml.kernel.org/g/[ref]
which should also fix UBSAN's complain.
Thanks, will take a look.
