[PATCH v8 3/3] arm64: mte: add compression support to mteswap.c

Update mteswap.c to perform inline compression of memory tags when
possible.

If CONFIG_ARM64_MTE_COMP is enabled, mteswap.c will attemt to compress
saved tags for a struct page and store them directly in Xarray entry
instead of wasting heap space.

Soon after booting Android, tag compression saves ~2x memory previously
spent by mteswap.c on tag allocations. On a moderately loaded device with
~20% tagged pages, this leads to saving several megabytes of kernel heap:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mteswap/stats
  8 bytes: 102496 allocations, 67302 deallocations
  128 bytes: 212234 allocations, 178278 deallocations
  uncompressed tag storage size: 8851200
  compressed tag storage size: 4346368

 v8:
  - adapt to the new compression API, abandon mteswap_{no,}comp.c
  - move stats collection to mteswap.c

 v5:
  - drop a dead variable from _mte_free_saved_tags() in mteswap_comp.c
  - ensure MTE compression works with arbitrary page sizes
  - update patch description

 v4:
  - minor code simplifications suggested by Andy Shevchenko, added
    missing header dependencies
  - changed compression API names to reflect modifications made to
    memcomp.h (as suggested by Yury Norov)

 v3:
  - Addressed comments by Andy Shevchenko in another patch:
   - fixed includes order
   - replaced u64 with unsigned long
   - added MODULE_IMPORT_NS(MTECOMP)
