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.
