Jiayuan Chen 5fcd551307 arm64: mm: Fix incomplete tag reset in change_memory_common()
Running KASAN KUnit tests with {HW,SW}_TAGS mode triggers a fault in
change_memory_common():

      # vmalloc_helpers_tags: try faulted
      not ok 67 vmalloc_helpers_tags

Commit a06494adb7ef ("arm64: mm: use untagged address to calculate page index")
fixed a KASAN warning in the BPF subsystem by adding kasan_reset_tag() to
the index calculation. In the execmem flow:

    bpf_prog_pack_alloc()
      -> bpf_jit_alloc_exec()
        -> execmem_alloc()

The returned address from execmem_vmalloc/execmem_cache_alloc is passed
through kasan_reset_tag(), so start has no tag while area->addr still
retains the original tag. The fix correctly handled this case by resetting
the tag on area->addr:

    (start - (unsigned long)kasan_reset_tag(area->addr)) >> PAGE_SHIFT

However, in normal vmalloc paths, both start and area->addr have matching
tags(or no tags). Resetting only area->addr causes a mismatch when
subtracting a tagged address from an untagged one, resulting in an
incorrect index.

Fix this by resetting tags on both addresses in the index calculation.
This ensures correct results regardless of the tag state of either address.

Tested with KASAN KUnit tests under CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC,
CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, and CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS - all pass. Also verified
the original BPF KASAN warning from [1] is still fixed.
