Since 6ee9b3d847 ("kasan: remove kasan_find_vm_area() to prevent
possible deadlock"), more detailed info about the vmalloc mapping and the
origin was dropped due to potential deadlocks.
While fixing the deadlock is necessary, that patch was too quick in
killing an otherwise useful feature, and did no due-diligence in
understanding if an alternative option is available.
Restore printing more helpful vmalloc allocation info in KASAN reports
with the help of vmalloc_dump_obj(). Example report:
