Revert "kasan: drop skip_kasan_poison variable in free_pages_prepare" 

This reverts commit 487a32ec24.

should_skip_kasan_poison() reads the PG_skip_kasan_poison flag from
page->flags.  However, this line of code in free_pages_prepare():

	page->flags &= ~PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP;

clears most of page->flags, including PG_skip_kasan_poison, before calling
should_skip_kasan_poison(), which meant that it would never return true as
a result of the page flag being set.  Therefore, fix the code to call
should_skip_kasan_poison() before clearing the flags, as we were doing
before the reverted patch.

This fixes a measurable performance regression introduced in the reverted
commit, where munmap() takes longer than intended if HW tags KASAN is
supported and enabled at runtime.  Without this patch, we see a
single-digit percentage performance regression in a particular
mmap()-heavy benchmark when enabling HW tags KASAN, and with the patch,
there is no statistically significant performance impact when enabling HW
tags KASAN.
