kasan: refactor pcpu kasan vmalloc unpoison

commit 6f13db031e27e88213381039032a9cc061578ea6 upstream.

A KASAN tag mismatch, possibly causing a kernel panic, can be observed
on systems with a tag-based KASAN enabled and with multiple NUMA nodes.
It was reported on arm64 and reproduced on x86. It can be explained in
the following points:

1. There can be more than one virtual memory chunk.
2. Chunk's base address has a tag.
3. The base address points at the first chunk and thus inherits
   the tag of the first chunk.
4. The subsequent chunks will be accessed with the tag from the
   first chunk.
5. Thus, the subsequent chunks need to have their tag set to
   match that of the first chunk.

Refactor code by reusing __kasan_unpoison_vmalloc in a new helper in
preparation for the actual fix.
