kasan, fork: reset pointer tags of vmapped stacks

Once tag-based KASAN modes start tagging vmalloc() allocations, kernel
stacks start getting tagged if CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is enabled.

Reset the tag of kernel stack pointers after allocation in
alloc_thread_stack_node().

For SW_TAGS KASAN, when CONFIG_KASAN_STACK is enabled, the instrumentation
can't handle the SP register being tagged.

For HW_TAGS KASAN, there's no instrumentation-related issues.  However,
the impact of having a tagged SP register needs to be properly evaluated,
so keep it non-tagged for now.

Note, that the memory for the stack allocation still gets tagged to catch
vmalloc-into-stack out-of-bounds accesses.
