Allow architectures to override KASAN_TAG_KERNEL in asm/kasan.h. This
is needed on RISC-V, which supports 57-bit virtual addresses and 7-bit
pointer tags. For consistency, move the arm64 MTE definition of
KASAN_TAG_MIN to asm/kasan.h, since it is also architecture-dependent;
RISC-V's equivalent extension is expected to support 7-bit hardware
memory tags.

Building CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS with -Werror on arm64 fails here
due to a warning about KASAN_TAG_MIN being redefined.

On my side the error got triggered when compiling
arch/arm64/kernel/asm-offsets.c due to the ordering of some includes :
from <asm/processor.h>, <linux/kasan-tags.h> ends up being included
(by <asm/cpufeatures.h> including <asm/sysreg.h>) before <asm/kasan.h>.
(Build trace at the end for reference)

Adding `#undef KASAN_TAG_MIN` before redefining the arch version
allows building CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS on arm64 without
further issues, but I don't know if this is most appropriate fix.Thanks, Ada ---
