Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] kasan: Fix metadata detection for KASAN_HW_TAGS

With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() currently assumes
that every location in memory has valid metadata associated. This is due
to the fact that addr_has_metadata() returns always true.

As a consequence of this, an invalid address (e.g. NULL pointer address)
passed to kasan_report() when KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, leads to a
kernel panic.

Example below, based on arm64:

 ==================================================================
 BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in 0x0
 Read at addr 0000000000000000 by task swapper/0/1
 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
 Mem abort info:
   ESR = 0x96000004
   EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
   SET = 0, FnV = 0
   EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
 Data abort info:
   ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004
   CM = 0, WnR = 0

...

This series fixes the behavior of addr_has_metadata() that now returns
true only when the address is valid.
