kasan: fix kasan_byte_accessible() to be consistent with actual checks



We can sometimes end up with kasan_byte_accessible() being called on
non-slab memory.  For example ksize() and krealloc() may end up calling it
on KFENCE allocated memory.  In this case the memory will be tagged with
KASAN_SHADOW_INIT, which a subsequent patch ("kasan: initialize shadow to
TAG_INVALID for SW_TAGS") will set to the same value as KASAN_TAG_INVALID,
causing kasan_byte_accessible() to fail when called on non-slab memory.

This highlighted the fact that the check in kasan_byte_accessible() was
inconsistent with checks as implemented for loads and stores
(kasan_check_range() in SW tags mode and hardware-implemented checks in HW
tags mode).  kasan_check_range() does not have a check for
KASAN_TAG_INVALID, and instead has a comparison against
KASAN_SHADOW_START.  In HW tags mode, we do not have either, but we do set
TCR_EL1.TCMA which corresponds with the comparison against
KASAN_TAG_KERNEL.

Therefore, update kasan_byte_accessible() for both SW and HW tags modes to
correspond with the respective checks on loads and stores.
