build: Add option KERNEL_KASAN_SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS

Browse Source 
Currently KASAN is supported but only the generic one. SW-tag and HW-tag
based KASAN have less impact on memory footprint or performance, and are
worth supporting.

Add choice menu for software and hardware Tag-Based KASAN, in addition
to the generic one.

KASAN has three modes:
1. Generic KASAN (supported by many architectures, enabled with
CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC, similar to userspace ASan),
2. Software Tag-Based KASAN (arm64 only, based on software memory
tagging, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, similar to userspace
HWASan), and
3. Hardware Tag-Based KASAN (arm64 only, based on hardware memory
tagging, enabled with CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS).
config KERNEL_KASAN_GENERIC
bool "Generic KASAN"
select KERNEL_SLUB_DEBUG
help
Enables Generic KASAN.
Consumes about 1/8th of available memory at kernel start and adds an
overhead of ~50% for dynamic allocations.
The performance slowdown is ~x3.
config KERNEL_KASAN_SW_TAGS
bool "Software Tag-Based KASAN"

select KERNEL_SLUB_DEBUG
help
Enables Software Tag-Based KASAN.
Supported only on arm64 CPUs and relies on Top Byte Ignore.
Consumes about 1/16th of available memory at kernel start and
add an overhead of ~20% for dynamic allocations.
May potentially introduce problems related to pointer casting and
comparison, as it embeds a tag into the top byte of each pointer.

help
Enables Hardware Tag-Based KASAN.
Supported only on arm64 CPUs starting from ARMv8.5 and relies on
Memory Tagging Extension and Top Byte Ignore.
Consumes about 1/32nd of available memory.
May potentially introduce problems related to pointer casting and
comparison, as it embeds a tag into the top byte of each pointer.
