Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] kasan: Make addr_has_metadata() return true for valid addresses

Currently, addr_has_metadata() returns true for every address.
An invalid address (e.g. NULL) passed to the function when,
KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, leads to a kernel panic.

Make addr_has_metadata() return true for valid addresses only.

Note: KASAN_HW_TAGS support for vmalloc will be added with a future
patch.
