[PATCH v2 3/9] kasan: sw_tags: Support outline stack tag generation

This allows stack tagging to be disabled at runtime by tagging all
stack objects with the match-all tag. This is necessary on RISC-V,
where a kernel with KASAN_SW_TAGS enabled is expected to boot on
hardware without pointer masking support.

Changes in v2:
 - Split the generic and RISC-V parts of stack tag generation control
   to avoid breaking bisectability
