IIUC, that's dead code. See my comment below on do_tag_check_fault().

Unnecessary empty line.

Ooooh, do we expect the kernel to still behave correctly after this? I
thought the recovery means disabling tag checking altogether and
restarting the instruction rather than skipping over it. We only skip if
we emulated it.

So we never invoke __do_kernel_fault() for a synchronous tag check in
the kernel. What's with all the is_el1_mte_sync_tag_check_fault() check
above?
