kasan: allow enabling KASAN_VMALLOC and SW/HW_TAGS
Allow enabling CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC with SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS KASAN modes.
Also adjust CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC description:
- Mention HW_TAGS support.
- Remove unneeded internal details: they have no place in Kconfig
description and are already explained in the documentation.
