ARM: 9017/2: Enable KASan for ARM

This patch enables the kernel address sanitizer for ARM. XIP_KERNEL
has not been tested and is therefore not allowed for now.

The test is broken w.r.t page table update rules and results in kernel
crash as below. Disable the support until we get the tests updated.
