The implementation of page_alloc poisoning sampling assumed that
tag_clear_highpage resets page tags for __GFP_ZEROTAGS allocations.
However, this is no longer the case since commit 70c248aca9e7 ("mm: kasan:
Skip unpoisoning of user pages").
This leads to kernel crashes when MTE-enabled userspace mappings are used
with Hardware Tag-Based KASAN enabled.
Reset page tags for __GFP_ZEROTAGS allocations in post_alloc_hook().
Also clarify and fix related comments.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
