This patch adds a memset to initialize object of unaligned size.
Duing to the MTE granulrity, the integrated initialization using
hwtag instruction will force clearing out bytes in granular size,
which may cause undesired effect, such as overwriting to the redzone
of SLUB debug. In this patch, for the unaligned object size, function
uses memset to initailize context instead of the hwtag instruction.

With this implementation, we loose the benefit of setting tags and
initializing memory with the same instructions.

Perhaps a better implementation would be to call
hw_set_mem_tag_range() with the size rounded down, and then separately
deal with the leftover memory.
        size = round_up(size, KASAN_GRANULE_SIZE);
-
        hw_set_mem_tag_range((void *)addr, size, tag, init);
 }
