From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>
KASAN's quarantine might save its metadata inside freed objects. As
this happens after the memory is zeroed by the slab allocator when
init_on_free is enabled, the memory coming out of quarantine is not
properly zeroed.
This causes lib/test_meminit.c tests to fail with Generic KASAN.
Zero the metadata when the object is removed from quarantine.
Fixes: 6471384af2a6 ("mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options")

Changes v1->v2:
- Use memzero_explicit() instead of memset().
