__kasan_unpoison_pages() colours the memory with a random tag and stores it in page->flags in order to re-create the tagged pointer via page_to_virt() later. When the tag from the page->flags is read, ensure that the in-memory tags are already visible by re-ordering the page_kasan_tag_set() after kasan_unpoison(). The former already has barriers in place through try_cmpxchg(). On the reader side, the order is ensured by the address dependency between page->flags and the memory access.
