This file (as well as the x86 version) gets included in
include/linux/kasan-tags.h:

	#if defined(CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS) || defined(CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS)
	#include <asm/kasan-tags.h>
	#endif

	#ifndef KASAN_TAG_WIDTH
	#define KASAN_TAG_WIDTH		0
	#endif

So the 8 or 4 value is only assigned if SW_TAGS or HW_TAGS are enabled.
Otherwise it's set to zero.
