Subject: alloc_tag: fix undetected compressed tag overflow when profiling is disabled

In reserve_module_tags(), the tag overflow check is gated on
mem_alloc_profiling_enabled():

    if (mem_alloc_profiling_enabled() && !tags_addressable())

If profiling is toggled off at runtime and a module is loaded whose tags
exceed the compressed-mode limit, shutdown_mem_profiling() is skipped. 
vm_module_tags_populate() still maps memory for the tags and the module
loads successfully, but the total tag count now exceeds what
NR_UNUSED_PAGEFLAG_BITS can address.

Once profiling is re-enabled, ref_to_idx() computes each tag's index as
its position in the alloc_tag array.  update_page_tag_ref() masks it to
alloc_tag_ref_mask before storing in page->flags.  Indices beyond the mask
are truncated and idx_to_ref() resolves them to wrong tags.

mem_alloc_profiling_enabled() and mem_profiling_compressed are
independent.  Once compressed mode is established at boot, it stays active
regardless of runtime toggles of mem_profiling.

We therefore remove the mem_alloc_profiling_enabled() guard.
