Enable more hardening options.
Note BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION selects DEBUG_LIST and is essentially just
a synonym for it.
DEBUG_SG, DEBUG_NOTIFIERS, DEBUG_LIST, DEBUG_CREDENTIALS and
SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK should all be low overhead and just add a few
extra checks.
Unselecting SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT causes the SLAB to use more memory, but
the skiroot kernel shouldn't be memory constrained on any of our
systems, all it does is run a small bootloader.
SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, and SLUB_DEBUG_ON will add some overhead to the
SLAB allocator, but nothing that should be meaningful for skiroot.
