With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() currently assumes
that every location in memory has valid metadata associated. This is due
to the fact that addr_has_metadata() returns always true.
As a consequence of this, an invalid address (e.g. NULL pointer address)
passed to kasan_report() when KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled, leads to a
kernel panic.
Example below, based on arm64:
==================================================================
BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in 0x0

This series fixes the behavior of addr_has_metadata() that now returns
true only when the address is valid.

With the introduction of KASAN_HW_TAGS, kasan_report() accesses the
metadata only when addr_has_metadata() succeeds.
Add a comment to make sure that the preconditions to the function are
explicitly clarified.
