alloc_tag: avoid warnings when freeing non-compound "tail" pages

When freeing "tail" pages of a non-compount high-order page, we properly
subtract the allocation tag counters, however later when these pages are
released, alloc_tag_sub() will issue warnings because tags for these pages
are NULL.

This issue was originally anticipated by Vlastimil in his review [1] and
then recently reported by David.  Prevent warnings by marking the tags
empty.
