With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() dereferences the address passed as a parameter.
It doesn't dereference the address, it accesses the metadata. And only when addr_has_metadata() succeeds.
Add a comment to make sure that the preconditions to the function are explicitly clarified. Note: An invalid address (e.g. NULL) passed to the function when, KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, leads to a kernel panic.
This is no longer true, right? Commit description needs to be updated.

Looks good, thanks!

Let's put this change into a separate patch.
