arm64: fix strlen() with CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS

When the kernel is built with CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS and the CPU supports
MTE, memory accesses are checked at 16-byte granularity, and
out-of-bounds accesses can result in tag check faults. Our current
implementation of strlen() makes unaligned 16-byte accesses (within a
naturally aligned 4096-byte window), and can trigger tag check faults.

This can be seen at boot time, e.g.

To fix this, we can reduce the (strlen-internal) MIN_PAGE_SIZE to 16
bytes when CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is selected. This will cause strlen() to
align the base pointer downwards to a 16-byte boundary, and to discard
the additional prefix bytes without counting them. All subsequent
accesses will be 16-byte aligned 16-byte LDPs. While the comments say
the body of the loop will access 32 bytes, this is performed as two
16-byte acceses, with the second made only if the first did not
encounter a NUL byte, so the body of the loop will not over-read across
a 16-byte boundary.

No other string routines are affected. The other str*() routines will
not make any access which straddles a 16-byte boundary, and the mem*()
routines will only make acceses which straddle a 16-byte boundary when
which is entirely within the bounds of the relevant base and size
arguments.
