[PATCH v2 2/4] arm64: mte: Add asynchronous mode support

[Vincenzo Frascino]

MTE provides an asynchronous mode for detecting tag exceptions. In
particular instead of triggering a fault the arm64 core updates a
register which is checked by the kernel at the first entry after the tag
exception has occurred.

Add support for MTE asynchronous mode.

The exception handling mechanism will be added with a future patch.

Note: KASAN HW activates async mode via kasan.mode kernel parameter.
The default mode is set to synchronous.
