[PATCH v3] kasan, mm: fix crash with HW_TAGS and DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

Currently, kasan_free_nondeferred_pages()->kasan_free_pages() is called
after debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages(). This causes a crash when
debug_pagealloc is enabled, as HW_TAGS KASAN can't set tags on an
unmapped page.

This patch puts kasan_free_nondeferred_pages() before
debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages() and arch_free_page(), which can also make
the page unavailable.
