This creates an inconsistency, because for
kasan_stack_collection_enabled(), kasan_async_fault_possible(), and
kasan_sync_fault_possible() there are !KASAN_HW_TAGS stubs.

A stub for kasan_mode_info() if !KASAN_HW_TAGS appears useless though,
and I wouldn't know what its return value should be.

Do you expect this helper to be used outside hw_tags.c? If not,
perhaps just move it into hw_tags.c.

Thanks,
