A few places where SLUB accesses object's data or metadata were missed in a previous patch. This leads to false positives with hardware tag-based KASAN when bulk allocations are used with init_on_alloc/free. Fix the false-positives by resetting pointer tags during these accesses. (The kasan_reset_tag call is removed from slab_alloc_node, as it's added into maybe_wipe_obj_freeptr.)

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.
