kfence: always use static branches to guard kfence_alloc()
commit 07e8481d3c38f461d7b79c1d5c9afe013b162b0c upstream. Regardless of KFENCE mode (CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS: either using static keys to gate allocations, or using a simple dynamic branch), always use a static branch to avoid the dynamic branch in kfence_alloc() if KFENCE was disabled at boot. For CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS=n, this now avoids the dynamic branch if KFENCE was disabled at boot. To simplify, also unifies the location where kfence_allocation_gate is read-checked to just be inline in kfence_alloc().
