Currently, for Generic KASAN mode, kasan_requires_meta is defined to return kasan_stack_collection_enabled. Even though the Generic mode does not support disabling stack trace collection, kasan_requires_meta was implemented in this way to make it easier to implement the disabling for the Generic mode in the future. However, for the Generic mode, the per-object metadata also stores the quarantine link. So even if disabling stack collection is implemented, the per-object metadata will still be required. Fix kasan_requires_meta to return true for the Generic mode and update the related comments. This change does not fix any observable bugs but rather just brings the code to a cleaner state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
