Subject: [PATCH v4 02/18] kasan: sw_tags: Support tag widths less than 8 bits

From: Samuel Holland <samuel.holland@...ive.com>

Allow architectures to override KASAN_TAG_KERNEL in asm/kasan.h. This
is needed on RISC-V, which supports 57-bit virtual addresses and 7-bit
pointer tags. For consistency, move the arm64 MTE definition of
KASAN_TAG_MIN to asm/kasan.h, since it is also architecture-dependent;
RISC-V's equivalent extension is expected to support 7-bit hardware
memory tags.
