kasan: reset page tags properly with sampling
The implementation of page_alloc poisoning sampling assumed that tag_clear_highpage resets page tags for __GFP_ZEROTAGS allocations. However, this is no longer the case since commit 70c248aca9e7 ("mm: kasan: Skip unpoisoning of user pages"). This leads to kernel crashes when MTE-enabled userspace mappings are used with Hardware Tag-Based KASAN enabled. Reset page tags for __GFP_ZEROTAGS allocations in post_alloc_hook(). Also clarify and fix related comments.
