This is a problem only for the Generic mode, right? You already call
kasan_reset_tag on the rcu_head, which should suppress the reporting
for the tag-based modes.
If so, would it be possible to reuse metadata_access_enable/disable?
They are used for accessing slub_debug metadata and seem to fit nicely
with this case as well.
I also second Macro's comment to add a test for the new functionality.
Thanks for working on this!
