kasan, vmalloc: only tag normal vmalloc allocations

The kernel can use to allocate executable memory.  The only supported
way to do that is via __vmalloc_node_range() with the executable bit set
in the prot argument.  (vmap() resets the bit via pgprot_nx()).

Once tag-based KASAN modes start tagging vmalloc allocations, executing
code from such allocations will lead to the PC register getting a tag,
which is not tolerated by the kernel.

Only tag the allocations for normal kernel pages.
