[PATCH mm v3 27/38] kasan, page_alloc: allow skipping unpoisoning for HW_TAGS

[andrey.konovalov@linux.dev]

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>

Add a new GFP flag __GFP_SKIP_KASAN_UNPOISON that allows skipping KASAN
poisoning for page_alloc allocations. The flag is only effective with
HW_TAGS KASAN.

This flag will be used by vmalloc code for page_alloc allocations
backing vmalloc() mappings in a following patch. The reason to skip
KASAN poisoning for these pages in page_alloc is because vmalloc code
will be poisoning them instead.

Also reword the comment for __GFP_SKIP_KASAN_POISON.
