alloc_tag: fix boot failure due to NULL pointer dereference
There is a boot failure when both CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING are enabled.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
RIP: 0010:__alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook+0x181/0x2f0
Call Trace:
kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0x1c8/0x5c0
__alloc_object+0x2f/0x290
__create_object+0x22/0x80

In kmemleak, mem_pool_alloc() directly calls kmem_cache_alloc_noprof(), as
a result, current->alloc_tag is NULL, leading to a null pointer
dereference.
Move the checks for SLAB_NO_OBJ_EXT, SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE, and
__GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT to the parent function __alloc_tagging_slab_alloc_hook()
to fix this.
Also this distinguishes the SLAB_NOLEAKTRACE case between the actual
memory allocation failures case, make CODETAG_FLAG_INACCURATE more
accurate.
