kasan: clean up feature flags for HW_TAGS mode

 - Untie kasan_init_hw_tags() code from the default values of
   kasan_arg_mode and kasan_arg_stacktrace.

 - Move static_branch_enable(&kasan_flag_enabled) to the end of
   kasan_init_hw_tags_cpu().

 - Remove excessive comments in kasan_arg_mode switch.

 - Add new comments.
