The optimized strscpy() and dentry_string_cmp() routines will read 8 unaligned bytes at a time via the function read_word_at_a_time(), but this is incompatible with MTE which will fault on a partially invalid read. The attributes on read_word_at_a_time() that disable KASAN are invisible to the CPU so they have no effect on MTE. Let's fix the bug for now by disabling the optimizations if the kernel is built with HW tag-based KASAN and consider improvements for followup changes.
