[PATCH v5 01/37] arm64/mm: Restructure arch_validate_flags() for extensibility

Currently arch_validate_flags() is written in a very non-extensible
fashion, returning immediately if MTE is not supported and writing the MTE
check as a direct return. Since we will want to add more checks for GCS
refactor the existing code to be more extensible, no functional change
intended.
