[PATCH] arm64: mte: Ensure TIF_MTE_ASYNC_FAULT is set atomically

The entry from EL0 code checks the TFSRE0_EL1 register for any
asynchronous tag check faults in user space and sets the
TIF_MTE_ASYNC_FAULT flag. This is not done atomically, potentially
racing with another CPU calling set_tsk_thread_flag().

Replace the non-atomic ORR+STR with an STSET instruction. While STSET
requires ARMv8.1 and an assembler that understands LSE atomics, the MTE
feature is part of ARMv8.5 and already requires an updated assembler.

Slightly updated from the inline diff I posted. The MTE dependency is only on
AS_HAS_LSE_ATOMICS rather than the whole LSE feature being enabled.
