Patch series "kasan: Fix metadata detection for KASAN_HW_TAGS", v5.
With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() currently assumes
that every location in memory has valid metadata associated. This is
due to the fact that addr_has_metadata() returns always true.
As a consequence of this, an invalid address (e.g. NULL pointer
address) passed to kasan_report() when KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, leads
to a kernel panic.
Example below, based on arm64:
BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in 0x0
Read at addr 0000000000000000 by task swapper/0/1
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000

ESR = 0x96000004
EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
SET = 0, FnV = 0
EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
Data abort info:
ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004
CM = 0, WnR = 0

This series fixes the behavior of addr_has_metadata() that now returns
true only when the address is valid.
This patch (of 2):
With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() accesses the
metadata only when addr_has_metadata() succeeds.
Add a comment to make sure that the preconditions to the function are
explicitly clarified.

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.
