alloc_tag: fix boot failure due to NULL pointer dereference
There is a boot failure when both CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING are enabled. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 RIP: 0010:__alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook+0x181/0x2f0 Call Trace: kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0x1c8/0x5c0 __alloc_object+0x2f/0x290 __create_object+0x22/0x80 kmemleak_init+0x122/0x190 mm_core_init+0xb6/0x160 start_kernel+0x39f/0x920 x86_64_start_reservations+0x18/0x30 x86_64_start_kernel+0x104/0x120 common_startup_64+0x12c/0x138 In kmemleak, mem_pool_alloc() directly calls kmem_cache_alloc_noprof(), as a result, current->alloc_tag is NULL, leading to a null pointer dereference. Move the checks for SLAB_NO_OBJ_EXT, SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE, and __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT to the parent function __alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook() to fix this. Also this distinguishes the SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE case between the actual memory allocation failures case, make CODETAG_FLAG_INACCURATE more accurate.
