[PATCH v6 17/26] arm64: mte: Allow user control of the tag check mode via prctl()

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 uaccess done by the kernel is
not checked and cannot be configured by the user.

Notes:
    v3:
    - Use SCTLR_EL1_TCF0_NONE instead of 0 for consistency.
    - Move mte_thread_switch() in this patch from an earlier one. In
      addition, it is called after the dsb() in __switch_to() so that any
      asynchronous tag check faults have been registered in the TFSR_EL1
      registers (to be added with the in-kernel MTE support.
    
    v2:
    - Handle SCTLR_EL1_TCF0_NONE explicitly for consistency with PR_MTE_TCF_NONE.
    - Fix SCTLR_EL1 register setting in flush_mte_state() (thanks to Peter
      Collingbourne).
    - Added ISB to update_sctlr_el1_tcf0() since, with the latest
      architecture update/fix, the TCF0 field is used by the uaccess
      routines.
