mm: slab: Do not create kmalloc caches smaller than arch_slab_minalign() 

Commit b035f5a6d8 ("mm: slab: reduce the kmalloc() minimum alignment
if DMA bouncing possible") allows architectures with non-coherent DMA to
define a small ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (e.g. sizeof(unsigned long long))
and this has been enabled on arm64. With KASAN_HW_TAGS enabled, however,
ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN becomes 16 on arm64 (arch_slab_minalign() dynamically
selects it since commit d949a8155d ("mm: make minimum slab alignment a
runtime property")). This can lead to a situation where kmalloc-8 caches
are attempted to be created with a kmem_caches.size aligned to 16. When
the cache is mergeable, it can lead to kernel warnings like:

SLUB: Unable to add boot slab dma-kmalloc-8 to sysfs

Limit the __kmalloc_minalign() return value (used to create the
kmalloc-* caches) to arch_slab_minalign() so that kmalloc-8 caches are
skipped when KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled (both config and runtime).
