mm/mempool: avoid KASAN marking mempool poison checks as use-after-free
commit 7640131032db9118a78af715ac77ba2debeeb17c upstream. When removing an element from the mempool, mark it as unpoisoned in KASAN before verifying its contents for SLUB/SLAB debugging. Otherwise KASAN will flag the reads checking the element use-after-free writes as use-after-free reads.
