Can you please add some documentation in Documentation/dev-tools/kfence.rst?

Also, this should be described in
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt.  That file doesn't
mention kfence at all, which might be an oversight.

Meanwhile, I'll queue these patches in mm.git's mm-nonmm-unstable
branch for some testing.  I'll await reviewer input before proceeding
further.  Thanks.
