Do we need the skipping for a functional reason, or is that an optimization?
>From the comments in probe_subpage_writeable() and
probe_subpage_safe_writeable() I wasn't sure if the skipping was because we
*don't need to* check the first granule, or because we *must not* check the
first granule.

I think we may need to account for the residue from PTR_ALIGN_DOWN(), or we can
report more bytes not copied than was passed in `size` in the first place,
which I think might confused some callers.
Consider MTE_GRANULE_SIZE is 16, uaddr is 31, and size is 1 (so end is 32). We
align uaddr down to 16, and if we fail the first access we return (32 - 16),
i.e. 16.
Thanks,
Mark.
