When CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled we currently increase the minimum
slab alignment to 16. This happens even if MTE is not supported in
hardware or disabled via kasan=off, which creates an unnecessary
memory overhead in those cases. Eliminate this overhead by making
the minimum slab alignment a runtime property and only aligning to
16 if KASAN is enabled at runtime.

On a DragonBoard 845c (non-MTE hardware) with a kernel built with
CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS, waiting for quiescence after a full Android
boot I see the following Slab measurements in /proc/meminfo (median
of 3 reboots):

Before: 169020 kB
After:  167304 kB

v3:
- go back to ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN
- revert changes to fs/binfmt_flat.c
- update arch_slab_minalign() comment to say that it must be a power of two

v2:
- use max instead of max_t in flat_stack_align()
