[PATCH v2] kcsan: test: don't put the expect array on the stack

[PATCH v2] kcsan: test: don't put the expect array on the stack

[Max Filippov]

Size of the 'expect' array in the __report_matches is 1536 bytes, which
is exactly the default frame size warning limit of the xtensa
architecture.
As a result allmodconfig xtensa kernel builds with the gcc that does not
support the compiler plugins (which otherwise would push the said
warning limit to 2K) fail with the following message:

  kernel/kcsan/kcsan_test.c:257:1: error: the frame size of 1680 bytes
    is larger than 1536 bytes

Fix it by dynamically alocating the 'expect' array.

Can you take this through the xtensa tree?

Sure. Thanks for your review and testing.
