[ Upstream commit 70c248aca9e7efa85a6664d5ab56c17c326c958f ]

Commit c275c5c6d50a ("kasan: disable freed user page poisoning with HW
tags") added __GFP_SKIP_KASAN_POISON to GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE. A similar
argument can be made about unpoisoning, so also add
__GFP_SKIP_KASAN_UNPOISON to user pages. To ensure the user page is
still accessible via page_address() without a kasan fault, reset the
page->flags tag.

With the above changes, there is no need for the arm64
tag_clear_highpage() to reset the page->flags tag.
