[PATCH v8 29/43] arm64: mte: Add in-kernel tag fault handler

From: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino at arm.com>

Add the implementation of the in-kernel fault handler.

When a tag fault happens on a kernel address:
* MTE is disabled on the current CPU,
* the execution continues.

When a tag fault happens on a user address:
* the kernel executes do_bad_area() and panics.

The tag fault handler for kernel addresses is currently empty and will be
filled in by a future commit.

+ * The kernel accesses TTBR0 usually with LDTR/STTR instructions
+ * when UAO is available, so these would act as EL0 accesses using
+ * TCF0.
+ * However futex.h code uses exclusives which would be executed as
+ * EL1, this can potentially cause a tag check fault even if the
+ * user disables TCF0.
+ *
+ * To address the problem we set the PSTATE.TCO bit in uaccess_enable()
+ * and reset it in uaccess_disable().
+ *
+ * The Tag check override (TCO) bit disables temporarily the tag checking
+ * preventing the issue.
