Is this actually caused by KASAN? There's no stack frames in there that
are KASAN related AFAICS.

Seems like the 2K limit is never going to be enough even if KASAN is not
enabled. Presumably we just haven't noticed because we don't trigger the
check unless KASAN is enabled.

I'd rather that was a separate change, in case it has some unintended
affect.

Wouldn't it be cleaner to just do:

#ifdef CONFIG_KASAN
#define STACK_CHECK_LIMIT (3 * 1024)
#else
#define STACK_CHECK_LIMIT (2 * 1024)
#endif

And then the code could stay as it is?
