[PATCH] ubsan: Remove CONFIG_UBSAN_OBJECT_SIZE

[Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>]

The object-size sanitizer is redundant to -Warray-bounds, and
inappropriately performs its checks at run-time when all information
needed for the evaluation is available at compile-time, making it quite
difficult to use:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214861

With -Warray-bounds almost enabled globally, it doesn't make sense to
keep this around.
