kfence: skip all GFP_ZONEMASK allocations
Allocation requests outside ZONE_NORMAL (MOVABLE, HIGHMEM or DMA) cannot
be fulfilled by KFENCE, because KFENCE memory pool is located in a zone
different from the requested one.
Because callers of kmem_cache_alloc() may actually rely on the
allocation to reside in the requested zone (e.g. memory allocations
done with __GFP_DMA must be DMAable), skip all allocations done with
GFP_ZONEMASK and/or respective SLAB flags (SLAB_CACHE_DMA and
SLAB_CACHE_DMA32).
