Commit 8f1081892d62 ("kho: simplify page initialization in
kho_restore_page()") cleaned up the page initialization logic by
moving the folio and 0-order-page paths into separate functions. It
missed moving the alloc tag initialization.
Do it now to keep the two paths cleanly separated. While at it, touch up
the comments to be a tiny bit shorter (mainly so it doesn't end up
splitting into a multiline comment). This is purely a cosmetic change
and there should be no change in behaviour.

Notes:
The patch for e86436ad0ad2 ("kho: init alloc tags when restoring pages
from reserved memory") was posted after the patch for
8f1081892d62 ("kho: simplify page initialization in
kho_restore_page()"), but landed in mainline before it because it went
through the hotfixes path. This led to the simplification patch missing
the code tag bits. I don't think any of this is worth explaining in the
commit message, so I just left it at "missed moving the alloc tags..."
Tested on a qemu VM with CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG enabled.
Not adding a Fixes tag here since this isn't a bug fix, only a cosmetic
fix.
