A short granule is a granule of size between 1 and `TG-1` bytes. The size
of a short granule is stored at the location in shadow memory where the
granule's tag is normally stored, while the granule's actual tag is stored
in the last byte of the granule. This means that in order to verify that a
pointer tag matches a memory tag, HWASAN must check for two possibilities:
* the pointer tag is equal to the memory tag in shadow memory, or
* the shadow memory tag is actually a short granule size, the value being loaded
is in bounds of the granule and the pointer tag is equal to the last byte of
the granule.
Pointer tags between 1 to `TG-1` are possible and are as likely as any other
tag. This means that these tags in memory have two interpretations: the full
tag interpretation (where the pointer tag is between 1 and `TG-1` and the
last byte of the granule is ordinary data) and the short tag interpretation
(where the pointer tag is stored in the granule).
When HWASAN detects an error near a memory tag between 1 and `TG-1`, it
will show both the memory tag and the last byte of the granule. Currently,
it is up to the user to disambiguate the two possibilities.
Because this functionality obsoletes the right aligned heap feature of
the HWASAN memory allocator (and because we can no longer easily test
it), the feature is removed.
Also update the documentation to cover both short granule tags and
outlined checks.

This patch changes hwasan inline instrumentation:
Fixes address untagging for shadow address calculation (use 0xFF instead of 0x00 for the top byte).
Emits brk instruction instead of hlt for the kernel and user space.
Use 0x900 instead of 0x100 for brk immediate (0x100 - 0x800 are unavailable in the kernel).
Fixes and adds appropriate tests.
Patch by Andrey Konovalov.

Summary:
Kernel addresses have 0xFF in the most significant byte.
A tag can not be pushed there with OR (tag << 56);
use AND ((tag << 56) | 0x00FF..FF) instead.
