Subject[PATCH mm v10 31/42] kasan, mm: untag page address in free_reserved_area
From
From: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@arm.com>

free_reserved_area() memsets the pages belonging to a given memory area.
As that memory hasn't been allocated via page_alloc, the KASAN tags that
those pages have are 0x00. As the result the memset might result in a tag
mismatch.

Untag the address to avoid spurious faults.
