kfence: shorten critical sections of alloc/free

Initializing memory and setting/checking the canary bytes is relatively
expensive, and doing so in the meta->lock critical sections extends the
duration with preemption and interrupts disabled unnecessarily.

Any reads to meta->addr and meta->size in kfence_guarded_alloc() and
kfence_guarded_free() don't require locking meta->lock as long as the
object is removed from the freelist: only kfence_guarded_alloc() sets
meta->addr and meta->size after removing it from the freelist, which
requires a preceding kfence_guarded_free() returning it to the list or
the initial state.

Therefore move reads to meta->addr and meta->size, including expensive
memory initialization using them, out of meta->lock critical sections.
