This patch adds a memset to initialize object of unaligned size.
Duing to the MTE granulrity, the integrated initialization using
hwtag instruction will force clearing out bytes in granular size,
which may cause undesired effect, such as overwriting to the redzone
of SLUB debug. In this patch, for the unaligned object size, function
uses memset to initailize context instead of the hwtag instruction.
