For HWASan the most convenient would be to use the tag from the hint.
But since in the TBI (not MTE) mode the kernel has no idea what
meaning userspace assigns to pointer tags, perhaps it should not try
to guess, and should return raw (zero-tagged) address instead.

I like this - and in that case it would make sense to return the
pointer that can be immediately dereferenced without crashing the
process, i.e. with the matching tag.
