Issue: when SLUB debug is on, hwtag kasan_unpoison() would overwrite
the redzone of object with unaligned size.

An additional memzero_explicit() path is added to replacing init by
hwtag instruction for those unaligned size at SLUB debug mode.

Is this an issue only with SLUB? SLAB also uses redzones.

This needs a comment along the lines of:

/* Explicitly initialize the memory with the precise object size to
avoid overwriting the SLAB redzone. This disables initialization in
the arch code and may thus lead to performance penalty. The penalty is
accepted since SLAB redzones aren't enabled in production builds. */

        size = round_up(size, KASAN_GRANULE_SIZE);

        hw_set_mem_tag_range((void *)addr, size, tag, init);
