It looks like a copy-on-write where the source page is tagged
(PG_mte_tagged set) but page_kasan_tag() != 0xff (kasantag == 0xa). The
page is also swap-backed. Our current assumption is that
page_kasan_tag_reset() should be called on page allocation and we should
never end up with a user page without the kasan tag reset.

I was hoping we can catch such condition with the diff below but it
never triggered for me even when swapping tagged pages in and out:

 	for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++, page++) {
 		if (!test_and_set_bit(PG_mte_tagged, &page->flags))
------------------------8<-------------------------------

Does it take long to reproduce this kasan warning? If not, it may be
worth adding the above hunk, hopefully we can identify where that page
is coming from before it ends up in copy_page().
