malloc: Ensure mtag code path in checked_request2size is cold
This is a workaround (hack) for a gcc optimization issue (PR 99551). Without this the generated code may evaluate the expression in the cold path which causes performance regression for small allocations in the memory tagging disabled (common) case. Reviewed-by: DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com>
