KMSAN: Remove tautological checks 

Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel
has been bumped to 15.0.0, two KMSAN checks can be cleaned up.

CONFIG_HAVE_KMSAN_COMPILER will always be true when using clang so
remove the cc-option test and use a simple check for CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG.

CONFIG_HAVE_KMSAN_PARAM_RETVAL will always be true so it can be removed
outright.
