Subject: kho: init alloc tags when restoring pages from reserved memory
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 13:27:40 +0000

Memblock pages (including reserved memory) should have their allocation
tags initialized to CODETAG_EMPTY via clear_page_tag_ref() before being
released to the page allocator.  When kho restores pages through
kho_restore_page(), missing this call causes mismatched
allocation/deallocation tracking and below warning message:

alloc_tag was not set
WARNING: include/linux/alloc_tag.h:164 at ___free_pages+0xb8/0x260, CPU#1: swapper/0/1
RIP: 0010:___free_pages+0xb8/0x260

Add missing clear_page_tag_ref() annotation in kho_restore_page() to
fix this.
