kasan: call clear_page with a match-all tag instead of changing page tag
Instead of changing the page's tag solely in order to obtain a pointer
with a match-all tag and then changing it back again, just convert the
pointer that we get from kmap_atomic() into one with a match-all tag
before passing it to clear_page().
On a certain microarchitecture, this has been observed to cause a
measurable improvement in microbenchmark performance, presumably as a
result of being able to avoid the atomic operations on the page tag.
