Subject: [PATCH v3] mm: use compare-exchange operation to set KASAN page tag

It has been reported that the tag setting operation on newly-allocated
pages can cause the page flags to be corrupted when performed
concurrently with other flag updates as a result of the use of
non-atomic operations. Fix the problem by using a compare-exchange
loop to update the tag.

v3:
- use try_cmpxchg() as suggested by Peter Zijlstra on another
  patch

v2:
- use READ_ONCE()
