Subject: [PATCH mm] fix for "kasan, fork: reset pointer tags of vmapped stacks"

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

That patch didn't update the case when a stack is retrived from
cached_stacks in alloc_thread_stack_node(). As cached_stacks stores
vm_structs and not stack pointers themselves, the pointer tag needs
to be reset there as well.
