kasan: docs: update ignoring accesses section

Update the "Ignoring accesses" section in KASAN documentation:

 - Mention __no_sanitize_address/noinstr.

 - Mention kasan_disable/enable_current().

 - Mention kasan_reset_tag()/page_kasan_tag_reset().

 - Readability and punctuation clean-ups.

+Note that disabling compiler instrumentation (either on a per-file or a
+per-function basis) makes KASAN ignore the accesses that happen directly in
+that code for software KASAN modes. It does not help when the accesses happen
+indirectly (through calls to instrumented functions) or with the hardware
+tag-based mode that does not use compiler instrumentation.
+
+For software KASAN modes, to disable KASAN reports in a part of the kernel code
+for the current task, annotate this part of the code with a
+``kasan_disable_current()``/``kasan_enable_current()`` section. This also
+disables the reports for indirect accesses that happen through function calls.
+
+For tag-based KASAN modes (include the hardware one), to disable access
+checking, use ``kasan_reset_tag()`` or ``page_kasan_tag_reset()``. Note that
+temporarily disabling access checking via ``page_kasan_tag_reset()`` requires
+saving and restoring the per-page KASAN tag via
+``page_kasan_tag``/``page_kasan_tag_set``.
