Subject: kfence: fix KASAN HW tags bypass via runtime sample_interval change
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 11:52:37 +0200

If a user writes a non-zero value to the sample_interval module parameter
at runtime, the missing KASAN HW tags check in the late init path allows
KFENCE to be enabled alongside KASAN HW tags, bypassing the boot
restriction.

This patch adds the missing check to param_set_sample_interval() to reject
the parameter change if KASAN HW tags are enabled.
