kasan: fix krealloc handling for tag-based mode
Right now tag-based KASAN can retag the memory that is reallocated via krealloc and return a differently tagged pointer even if the same slab object gets used and no reallocated technically happens. There are a few issues with this approach. One is that krealloc callers can't rely on comparing the return value with the passed argument to check whether reallocation happened. Another is that if a caller knows that no reallocation happened, that it can access object memory through the old pointer, which leads to false positives. Look at nf_ct_ext_add() to see an example. Fix this by keeping the same tag if the memory don't actually gets reallocated during krealloc.
