[07/15] mm: Pcpu chunk address tag reset

Commit Message

The problem presented here is related to NUMA systems and tag-based
KASAN mode. Getting to it can be explained in the following points:

	1. A new chunk is created with pcpu_create_chunk() and
	   vm_structs are allocated. On systems with one NUMA node only
	   one is allocated, but with more NUMA nodes at least a second
	   one will be allocated too.

	2. chunk->base_addr is assigned the modified value of
	   vms[0]->addr and thus inherits the tag of this allocated
	   structure.

	3. In pcpu_alloc() for each possible cpu pcpu_chunk_addr() is
	   executed which calculates per cpu pointers that correspond to
	   the vms structure addresses. The calculations are based on
	   adding an offset from a table to chunk->base_addr.

Here the problem presents itself since for addresses based on vms[1] and
up, the tag will be different than the ones based on vms[0] (base_addr).
The tag mismatch happens and an error is reported.

Reset the base_addr tag, since it will disable tag checks for pointers
derived arithmetically from base_addr that would inherit its tag.
