Subject: [PATCH] page flags: prioritize kasan bits over last-cpuid

ARM64 randdconfig builds regularly run into a build error, especially
when NUMA_BALANCING and SPARSEMEM are enabled but not SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP:

 #error "KASAN: not enough bits in page flags for tag"

The last-cpuid bits are already contitional on the available space,
so the result of the calculation is a bit random on whether they
were already left out or not.

Adding the kasan tag bits before last-cpuid makes it much more likely
to end up with a successful build here, and should be reliable for
randconfig at least, as long as that does not randomize NR_CPUS
or NODES_SHIFT but uses the defaults.

Fixes: 2813b9c02962 ("kasan, mm, arm64: tag non slab memory allocated via pagealloc")
