malloc: Use global flag instead of function pointer dispatch for mtag
A flag check can be faster than function pointers because of how branch prediction and speculation works and it can also remove a layer of indirection when there is a mismatch between the malloc internal tag_* api and __libc_mtag_* target hooks. Memory tagging wrapper functions are moved to malloc.c from arena.c and the logic now checks mmap_enabled. The definition of tag_new_usable is moved after chunk related definitions. This refactoring also allows using mtag_enabled checks instead of USE_MTAG ifdefs when memory tagging support only changes code logic when memory tagging is enabled at runtime. Note: an "if (false)" code block is optimized away even at -O0 by gcc. Reviewed-by: DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com>
