kmemleak would scan kernel memory to check memory leak.
When it scans on the invalid slab and dereference, the issue
will occur like below.

So I think we should reset the tag before scanning.

Thanks for the suggestions.
But I think it doesn't belong to false
positive becuase scan block
touched invalid metadata certainly.

Maybe "kmemleak, kasan: reset tags when scanning block"?
