An object constructor can initialize pointers within this objects based on
the address of the object. Since the object address might be tagged, we
need to assign a tag before calling constructor.

The implemented approach is to assign tags to objects with constructors
when a slab is allocated and call constructors once as usual. The
downside is that such object would always have the same tag when it is
reallocated, so we won't catch use-after-frees on it.

Also pressign tags for objects from SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches, since
they can be validy accessed after having been freed.

As I commented in the previous patch, can't we do this in
kasan_init_slab_obj(), which should be called in all the right places
already?
