commit 7a19afee6fb39df63ddea7ce78976d8c521178c6 upstream.
Similar to commit 09c6304e38e4 ("kasan: test: fix compatibility with FORTIFY_SOURCE") the kernel is panicing in kasan_string().
This is due to the `src` and `ptr` not being hidden from the optimizer which would disable the runtime fortify string checker.
