Check the allocation size before toggling kfence_allocation_gate. This way allocations that can't be served by KFENCE will not result in waiting for another CONFIG_KFENCE_SAMPLE_INTERVAL without allocating anything.

This series is ready to be picked up.
If possible, kindly consider including it in an upcoming batch of mainline fixes.
Thank you!
