[PATCH v2 1/4] mm: kasan: Ensure the tags are visible before the tag in page->flags

[Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>]

__kasan_unpoison_pages() colours the memory with a random tag and stores
it in page->flags in order to re-create the tagged pointer via
page_to_virt() later. When the tag from the page->flags is read, ensure
that the in-memory tags are already visible by re-ordering the
page_kasan_tag_set() after kasan_unpoison(). The former already has
barriers in place through try_cmpxchg(). On the reader side, the order
is ensured by the address dependency between page->flags and the memory
access.
