By default, even if PROT_MTE is set on a memory range, there is no tag
check fault reporting (SIGSEGV). Introduce a set of option to the
exiting prctl(PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL) to allow user control of the tag
check fault mode:
PR_MTE_TCF_NONE - no reporting (default)
PR_MTE_TCF_SYNC - synchronous tag check fault reporting
PR_MTE_TCF_ASYNC - asynchronous tag check fault reporting
These options translate into the corresponding SCTLR_EL1.TCF0 bitfield,
context-switched by the kernel. Note that the kernel accesses to the
user address space (e.g. read() system call) are not checked if the user
thread tag checking mode is PR_MTE_TCF_NONE or PR_MTE_TCF_ASYNC. If the
tag checking mode is PR_MTE_TCF_SYNC, the kernel makes a best effort to
check its user address accesses, however it cannot always guarantee it.

When the Memory Tagging Extension is enabled, two pages are identical
only if both their data and tags are identical.
Make the generic memcmp_pages() a __weak function and add an
arm64-specific implementation which returns non-zero if any of the two
pages contain valid MTE tags (PG_mte_tagged set). There isn't much
benefit in comparing the tags of two pages since these are normally used
for heap allocations and likely to differ anyway.

Pages allocated by the kernel are not guaranteed to have the tags
zeroed, especially as the kernel does not (yet) use MTE itself. To
ensure the user can still access such pages when mapped into its address
space, clear the tags via set_pte_at(). A new page flag - PG_mte_tagged
(PG_arch_2) - is used to track pages with valid allocation tags.
Since the zero page is mapped as pte_special(), it won't be covered by
the above set_pte_at() mechanism. Clear its tags during early MTE
initialisation.

The Memory Tagging Extension has two modes of notifying a tag check
fault at EL0, configurable through the SCTLR_EL1.TCF0 field:
1. Synchronous raising of a Data Abort exception with DFSC 17.
2. Asynchronous setting of a cumulative bit in TFSRE0_EL1.
Add the exception handler for the synchronous exception and handling of
the asynchronous TFSRE0_EL1.TF0 bit setting via a new TIF flag in
do_notify_resume().
On a tag check failure in user-space, whether synchronous or
asynchronous, a SIGSEGV will be raised on the faulting thread.
