The simplification of mte_get_random_tag() caused the introduction of the
warning below:

In file included from arch/arm64/include/asm/kasan.h:9,
                 from include/linux/kasan.h:16,
                 from mm/kasan/common.c:14:
mm/kasan/common.c: In function ‘mte_get_random_tag’:
arch/arm64/include/asm/mte-kasan.h:45:9: warning: ‘addr’ is used
                                         uninitialized [-Wuninitialized]
   45 |         asm(__MTE_PREAMBLE "irg %0, %0"
      |

Fix the warning using "=r" for the address in the asm inline.
