Subject: [PATCH] kasan, slub: fix more conflicts with CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED

When CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS is enabled, ptr_addr might be tagged.
Normally, this doesn't cause any issues, as both set_freepointer()
and get_freepointer() are called with a pointer with the same tag.
However, there are some issues with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG code. For
example, when __free_slub() iterates over objects in a cache, it
passes untagged pointers to check_object(). check_object() in turns
calls get_freepointer() with an untagged pointer, which causes the
freepointer to be restored incorrectly.

Add kasan_reset_tag to freelist_ptr(). Also add a detailed comment.
