    uma: Make an effort to defer reuse of items when KASAN is enabled
    
    When KASAN is configured, make uma_zfree_arg() free items to the per-CPU
    free bucket, rather than to the alloc bucket.  This means that the item
    won't be recycled immediately the next time a thread goes to allocate an
    item from that zone on the same CPU.  In other words, the item will stay
    in a quarantine state longer, which helps make KASAN's use-after-free
    detection more reliable.
