[PATCH v4 3/3] arm64: mte: Simplify swap tag restoration logic

As a result of the previous two patches, there are no circumstances
in which a swapped-in page is installed in a page table without first
having arch_swap_restore() called on it. Therefore, we no longer need
the logic in set_pte_at() that restores the tags, so remove it.

v4:
- Rebased onto v6.4-rc3
- Reverted change to arch/arm64/mm/mteswap.c; this change was not
  valid because swapcache pages can have arch_swap_restore() called
  on them multiple times

v3:
- Rebased onto arm64/for-next/fixes, which already has a fix
  for the issue previously tagged, therefore removed Fixes:
