Thanks for the catch!  will change.

I only have device to test the kasan-generic mode, and not SW/HW tag.
But if there is conflict, we may have to apply the similar solution :)

Christoph has explained in one earlier mail that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG only
compile in the debug support but not activate it. Option CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON
will enable it, and each slub debug flag bits can also be enabled 
by changing kernel cmdline for some or all slabs.
