When building with -Wuninitialized and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS unset, Clang
warns:

mm/kasan/common.c:484:40: warning: variable 'tag' is uninitialized when
used here [-Wuninitialized]
        kasan_unpoison_shadow(set_tag(object, tag), size);
                                              ^~~

set_tag ignores tag in this configuration but clang doesn't realize it
at this point in its pipeline, as it points to arch_kasan_set_tag as
being the point where it is used, which will later be expanded to
(void *)(object) without a use of tag. Just zero initialize tag, as it
removes this warning and doesn't change the meaning of the code.
