This appears unnecessary (taken care by the caller).

Since this won't be needed when the system doesn't support MTE,
shouldn't the code check if MTE is supported on the system ?

What is the reason to set this here rather than when the mte
is enabled ?
When MTE is not used, once KVM_LOCKED_MEMSLOT_SANITISE_TAGS is set,
it appears that KVM_LOCKED_MEMSLOT_SANITISE_TAGS won't be cleared
until all memslots are unlocked (Correct ?). I would think it
shouldn't be set when unnecessary or should be cleared once it turns
out to be unnecessary.

Thanks,
Reiji
