This reverts commit ac801e7e252c5588325e3c983c7d4167fc68c024.

The patch in question was picked to -mm from the KMSAN v6 patch series
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220905122452.2258262-1-glider@google.com/)
and sneaked into mainline despite its removal from the v7 series
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220915150417.722975-1-glider@google.com/)

Currently KMSAN does not warn about origin chains hitting the maximum
depth, so keeping @tlb poisoned won't result in any inconveniences.
