KASAN missed detecting size is negative numbers in memset(), memcpy(),
and memmove(), it will cause out-of-bounds bug, so needs to be detected
by KASAN.

If size is negative numbers, then it has three reasons to be
defined as heap-out-of-bounds bug type.
1) Casting negative numbers to size_t would indeed turn up as
a large size_t and its value will be larger than ULONG_MAX/2,
so that this can qualify as out-of-bounds.
2) If KASAN has new bug type and user-space passes negative size,
then there are duplicate reports. So don't produce new bug type
in order to prevent duplicate reports by some systems (e.g. syzbot)
to report the same bug twice.
3) When size is negative numbers, it may be passed from user-space.
So we always print heap-out-of-bounds in order to prevent that
kernel-space and user-space have the same bug but have duplicate
reports.

KASAN report:

This indentation is wrong. Should be:
+ if (!check_memory_region((unsigned long)src, len, false, _RET_IP_) ||
+ !check_memory_region((unsigned long)dest, len, true, _RET_IP_))

(also in one subsequent function)

KASAN missed detecting size is negative numbers in memset(), memcpy(),
and memmove(), it will cause underflow bug, so needs to be detected
Changes in v2:
fix the indentation, thanks for the reminder Matthew.
