This patch prepares Software Tag-Based KASAN for stack tagging support. With Tag-Based KASAN when kernel stacks are allocated via pagealloc (which happens when CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is not enabled), they get tagged. KASAN instrumentation doesn't expect the sp register to be tagged, and this leads to false-positive reports.
Fix by resetting the tag of kernel stack pointers after allocation.
