[PATCH 2/3] mm: kasan: Reset the tag on pages intended for user

On allocation kasan colours a page with a random tag and stores such tag
in page->flags so that a subsequent page_to_virt() reconstructs the
correct tagged pointer. However, when such page is mapped in user-space
with PROT_MTE, the kernel's initial tag is overridden. Ensure that such
pages have the tag reset (match-all) at allocation time since any late
clearing of the tag is racy with other page_to_virt() dereferencing.
