mm/slub: remove redundant kasan_reset_tag() from freelist_ptr calculations
Commit d36a63a943e3 ("kasan, slub: fix more conflicts with
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED") has introduced kasan_reset_tags() to
freelist_ptr() encoding/decoding when CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED is
enabled to resolve issues when passing tagged or untagged pointers
inconsistently would lead to incorrect calculations.
Later, commit aa1ef4d7b3f6 ("kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing
metadata") made sure all pointers have tags reset regardless of
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED, because there was no other way to access
the freepointer metadata safely with hw tag-based KASAN.
Therefore the kasan_reset_tag() usage in freelist_ptr_encode()/decode()
is now redundant, as all callers use kasan_reset_tag() unconditionally
when constructing ptr_addr. Remove the redundant calls and simplify the
code and remove obsolete comments.
Also in freelist_ptr_encode() introduce an 'encoded' variable to make
the lines shorter and make it similar to the _decode() one.
