Assertion failure 'Tag != 0' from VBoxDisp.dll

Description
When running VBox 5 with Guest Additions against a checked build of the Windows kernel, it will assert on startup. VBoxDisp is calling EngAllocMem with a Tag of zero, which is invalid. This is a regression, and worked fine in 4.x.
From a quick look through the source it seems to come from this line: src/VBox/Additions/WINNT/Graphics/Video/disp/xpdm/VBoxDispVBVA.cpp:305
return EngAllocMem(0, cb, 0);
WinDbg output:
*** Assertion failed: Tag != 0 *** Source File: d:\srvrtm\base\ntos\ex\pool.c, line 1839 Break repeatedly, break Once, Ignore, terminate Process, or terminate Thread (boipt)? b b Execute '.cxr F8646554' to dump context Break instruction exception - code 80000003 (first chance) nt!DbgBreakPoint: 811507a8 cc int 3 *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for VBoxDisp.dll *** ERROR: Symbol file could not be found.
