Subject: [PATCH mm v3 02/38] kasan, page_alloc: move tag_clear_highpage out of kernel_init_free_pages

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

Currently, kernel_init_free_pages() serves two purposes: it either only
zeroes memory or zeroes both memory and memory tags via a different
code path. As this function has only two callers, each using only one
code path, this behaviour is confusing.

Pull the code that zeroes both memory and tags out of
kernel_init_free_pages().

As a result of this change, the code in free_pages_prepare() starts to
look complicated, but this is improved in the few following patches.
Those improvements are not integrated into this patch to make diffs
easier to read.

This patch does no functional changes.
