[PATCH v2 01/11] kasan: unify static kasan_flag_enabled across modes

[Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov]

Historically, the runtime static key kasan_flag_enabled existed only for
CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS mode. Generic and SW_TAGS modes either relied on
architecture-specific kasan_arch_is_ready() implementations or evaluated
KASAN checks unconditionally, leading to code duplication.

This patch unifies the approach by:

1. Moving kasan_flag_enabled declaration under CONFIG_KASAN (all modes)
   instead of only CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS
2. Moving the static key definition to common.c for shared usage
3. Adding kasan_init_generic() function that enables the static key and
   handles initialization for Generic mode
4. Updating SW_TAGS mode to enable the unified static key
5. Removing the duplicate static key definition from HW_TAGS

After this change, all KASAN modes use the same underlying static key
infrastructure. The kasan_enabled() function now provides consistent
runtime enable behavior across Generic, SW_TAGS, and HW_TAGS modes.

This maintains a backward compatibility - existing architecture code
continues to work unchanged, but now benefits from the unified runtime
control mechanism. The architecture-specific kasan_arch_is_ready()
implementations can be gradually replaced with calls to the new
kasan_init_generic() function.
