quarantine_size tracks the total number of bytes stored in
global_quarantine[].  It is incremented when per-CPU quarantine objects
are moved into the global quarantine and decremented when a global batch
is evicted by kasan_quarantine_reduce().

kasan_quarantine_remove_cache() also removes objects from the global
quarantine.  qlist_move_cache() rebuilds the source batch and updates its
.bytes field, but quarantine_size is not adjusted accordingly.

As a result, quarantine_size remains over-counted by the size of the
removed objects.  The stale accounting accumulates across cache removals.
Once the inflated value exceeds quarantine_max_size,
kasan_quarantine_reduce() can evict a batch even though the actual number
of bytes in global_quarantine[] is still below quarantine_max_size,
shortening the quarantine window.

Fix the accounting by recording each batch's size before
qlist_move_cache() and subtracting the number of bytes actually removed
from quarantine_size while holding quarantine_lock.

A KUnit reproducer used during testing observed the over-count grow by
4698864 bytes after one kasan_quarantine_remove_cache() call with the fix
reverted.  With this change applied, the over-count did not grow.
