Subject: [PATCH 4/8] kasan: test: disable kmalloc_memmove_invalid_size for HW_TAGS

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@...il.com>

The HW_TAGS mode doesn't check memmove for negative size. As a result,
the kmalloc_memmove_invalid_size test corrupts memory, which can result
in a crash.

Disable this test with HW_TAGS KASAN.
