kasan/test: fix protection against compiler elision

commit 475356fe2814f2f0b188da8bf0f1fcc579d81272 upstream.

The kunit test is using assignments to
"static volatile void *kasan_ptr_result" to prevent elision of memory
loads, but that's not working:
In this variable definition, the "volatile" applies to the "void", not to
the pointer.
To make "volatile" apply to the pointer as intended, it must follow
after the "*".

This makes the kasan_memchr test pass again on my system.  The
kasan_strings test is still failing because all the definitions of
load_unaligned_zeropad() are lacking explicit instrumentation hooks and
ASAN does not instrument asm() memory operands.
