I decided to not use kasan_depth for HW_TAGS, as we can always use a
match-all tag to make "invalid" memory accesses.

I think we can fix the reporting code to do exactly that so that it
doesn't cause MTE faults.

Shuai, could you clarify, at which point due kasan_report_invalid_free
an MTE exception is raised in your tests?

It uses kasan_reset_tag, so it should work properly with HW_TAGS.
