[PATCH v2 3/4] mm: kasan: Skip page unpoisoning only if __GFP_SKIP_KASAN_UNPOISON

Currently post_alloc_hook() skips the kasan unpoisoning if the tags will
be zeroed (__GFP_ZEROTAGS) or __GFP_SKIP_KASAN_UNPOISON is passed. Since
__GFP_ZEROTAGS is now accompanied by __GFP_SKIP_KASAN_UNPOISON, remove
the extra check.
