Commit Message

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. Initialize tag to 0xff, as it
removes this warning and doesn't change the meaning of the code.

Thanks Andrey! Did anyone else have any other comments or can this be
picked up?
