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.

And in that case the reset was unnecessary, right. (commit log only mentions
adding missing resets).
