[PATCH v11 1/6] arm64: mte: Sync tags for pages where PTE is untagged

A KVM guest could store tags in a page even if the VMM hasn't mapped
the page with PROT_MTE. So when restoring pages from swap we will
need to check to see if there are any saved tags even if !pte_tagged().

However don't check pages which are !pte_valid_user() as these will
not have been swapped out.
