mm/slab: mark alloc tags empty for sheaves allocated with __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT
alloc_empty_sheaf() allocates sheaves from SLAB_KMALLOC caches using
__GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT to avoid recursion, however it does not mark their
allocation tags empty before freeing, which results in a warning when
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is set. Fix this by marking allocation
tags for such sheaves as empty.
The problem was technically introduced in commit 4c0a17e28340 but only
becomes possible to hit with commit 913ffd3a1bf5.
Fixes: 4c0a17e28340 ("slab: prevent recursive kmalloc() in alloc_empty_sheaf()")
Fixes: 913ffd3a1bf5 ("slab: handle kmalloc sheaves bootstrap")
