kasan: remove clang version check for KASAN_STACK

asan-stack mode still uses dangerously large kernel stacks of tens of
kilobytes in some drivers, and it does not seem that anyone is working
on the clang bug.

Turn it off for all clang versions to prevent users from accidentally
enabling it once they update to clang-9, and to help automated build
testing with clang-9.

Disabling asan-stack makes it safe to run kernels build
with clang-8 with KASAN enabled, though it loses some of
the functionality.
This feature is always disabled when compile-testing with clang-8
or earlier to avoid cluttering the output in stack overflow
warnings, but clang-8 users can still enable it for builds without
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST. On gcc and later clang versions it is
assumed to always be safe to use and enabled by default.
