Does having a tagged address here makes any difference? I couldn't hit a
failure with my simple tests (LD_PRELOAD a library that randomly adds
tags to pointers returned by malloc).

Isn't __get_user_pages() untagging enough to cover this case as well?
Can this function not cope with tagged pointers?

Have you hit a problem with the fast gup functions and tagged pointers?
The page table walking macros (e.g. p*d_index()) should mask the tag out
already.
