__GFP_ZEROTAGS should only be effective if memory is being zeroed.
Currently, hardware tag-based KASAN violates this requirement.

Fix by including an initialization check along with checking for
__GFP_ZEROTAGS.

You can probably leave this unchanged but add a WARN_ON_ONCE() if !init.
AFAICT there's only a single place where __GFP_ZEROTAGS is passed.

Yes, there's only one such place.

In a later patch, I implement handling __GFP_ZEROTAGS in regardless of
having __GFP_ZERO present or not, so adding WARN_ON() here and then
removing it probably doesn't make much sense.

As per what you said in the other message, I've left this unchanged.

Thanks!
