arm64: mte: reset the page tag in page->flags
The hardware tag-based KASAN for compatibility with the other modes stores the tag associated to a page in page->flags. Due to this the kernel faults on access when it allocates a page with an initial tag and the user changes the tags. Reset the tag associated by the kernel to a page in all the meaningful places to prevent kernel faults on access. Note: An alternative to this approach could be to modify page_to_virt(). This though could end up being racy, in fact if a CPU checks the PG_mte_tagged bit and decides that the page is not tagged but another CPU maps the same with PROT_MTE and becomes tagged the subsequent kernel access would fail.
