KASAN is not meant to work with KMEMCHECK. I am not sure if it even
works, and it's definitely unmaintained. Even if it works now, I am
not sure what could be the intention of somebody running that
combination.
So I think we should do: depends on !KASAN
Will it make things simper for you?

I don't think it will change anything for me, other than having to respin the
patch series or adding a patch on top.

I have just checked that KMEMCHECK is already disabled in allmodconfig,
and all but one of the warnings I address in the series show up in
allmodconfig too.
