[PATCH v8 0/5] MTE support for KVM guest

Another round of updates following review comments from Marc (thanks!).
This is rather late for v5.12, so I'll rebase again after -rc1 is out.

This series adds support for using the Arm Memory Tagging Extensions
(MTE) in a KVM guest.

This version splits the change to the tag synchronisation out to it's
own patch (patch 1), and also separates the introduction and exposing of
KVM_ARM_CAP_MTE into two patches (2 and 4) to avoid a dependency problem
with the save/restore patch (3). As before patch 5 is an RFC for adding
a new ioctl for reading/writing tags (I would appreciate feedback!).

Changes since v7[1]:
 * Split into hopefully more logic patches.
 * Save/restore of TFSRE0_EL1 is now done in C code.
 * Make save/restore of TFSR_EL1 conditional on the VM having MTE
   enabled.
 * Replaced register descriptions boilerplate in sys_regs.c with a new
   MTE_REG() macro.
