[PATCH 24/31] kasan, vmalloc, arm64: mark vmalloc mappings as pgprot_tagged

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl at google.com>

HW_TAGS KASAN relies on ARM Memory Tagging Extension (MTE). With MTE,
a memory region must be mapped as MT_NORMAL_TAGGED to allow setting
memory tags via MTE-specific instructions.

This change adds proper protection bits to vmalloc() allocations.
These allocations are always backed by page_alloc pages, so the tags
will actually be getting set on the corresponding physical memory.
