mm/memcontrol,alloc_tag: handle slabobj_ext access under KASAN poison



In the near future, slabobj_ext may reside outside the allocated slab
object range within a slab, which could be reported as an out-of-bounds
access by KASAN.

As suggested by Andrey Konovalov [1], explicitly disable KASAN and KMSAN
checks when accessing slabobj_ext within slab allocator, memory profiling,
and memory cgroup code. While an alternative approach could be to unpoison
slabobj_ext, out-of-bounds accesses outside the slab allocator are
generally more common.

Move metadata_access_enable()/disable() helpers to mm/slab.h so that
it can be used outside mm/slub.c. However, as suggested by Suren
Baghdasaryan [2], instead of calling them directly from mm code (which is
more prone to errors), change users to access slabobj_ext via get/put
APIs:

  - Users should call get_slab_obj_exts() to access slabobj_metadata
    and call put_slab_obj_exts() when it's done.

  - From now on, accessing it outside the section covered by
    get_slab_obj_exts() ~ put_slab_obj_exts() is illegal.
    This ensures that accesses to slabobj_ext metadata won't be reported
    as access violations.

Call kasan_reset_tag() in slab_obj_ext() before returning the address to
prevent SW or HW tag-based KASAN from reporting false positives.
