[PATCH] kmemleak: fix kmemleak false positive report with HW tag-based kasan enable

With HW tag-based kasan enable, We will get the warning
when we free object whose address starts with 0xFF.
It is because kmemleak rbtree stores tagged object and
this freeing object's tag does not match with rbtree object.
In the example below, kmemleak rbtree stores the tagged object in
the kmalloc(), and kfree() gets the pointer with 0xFF tag.
Call sequence:
ptr = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
page = virt_to_page(ptr);
kfree(page_address(page));
ptr = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
Call sequence like that may cause the warning as following:
1) Freeing unknown object:
In kfree(), we will get free unknown object warning in kmemleak_free().
Because object(0xFx) in kmemleak rbtree and pointer(0xFF) in kfree() have
different tag.
2) Overlap existing:
When we allocate that object with the same hw-tag again, we will
find the overlap in the kmemleak rbtree and kmemleak thread will
be killed.
