[PATCH v4 3/3] kasan: add memory corruption identification support for hardware tag-based mode

Add memory corruption identification support for hardware tag-based
mode. We store one old free pointer tag and free backtrace instead
of five because hardware tag-based kasan only has 16 different tags.

If we store as many stacks as SW tag-based kasan does(5 stacks),
there is high probability to find the same tag in the stacks when
out-of-bound issues happened and we will mistake out-of-bound
issue for use-after-free.
