[RFC PATCH 2/7] kasan: sw_tags: Check kasan_flag_enabled at runtime

On RISC-V, the ISA extension required to dereference tagged pointers is
optional, and the interface to enable pointer masking requires firmware
support. Therefore, we must detect at runtime if sw_tags is usable on a
given machine. Reuse the logic from hw_tags to dynamically enable KASAN.

This commit makes no functional change to the KASAN_HW_TAGS code path.
