[PATCH v9 4/4] arm64: mte: implement CONFIG_ARM64_MTE_SWAP_STATS

Provide a config to collect the usage statistics for ARM MTE tag
compression. This patch introduces allocation/deallocation counters
for buffers that were stored uncompressed (and thus occupy 128 bytes of
heap plus the Xarray overhead to store a pointer) and those that were
compressed into 8-byte pointers (effectively using 0 bytes of heap in
addition to the Xarray overhead).

The counters are exposed to the userspace via
/sys/kernel/debug/mteswap/stats:

  # 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

This patch was split off from the "arm64: mte: add compression support
to mteswap.c" patch
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/ZUVulBKVYK7cq2rJ@yury-ThinkPad/T/#m819ec30beb9de53d5c442f7e3247456f8966d88a)

v9:
 - add this patch, put the stats behind a separate config,
   mention /sys/kernel/debug/mteswap/stats in the documentation

+Stats
+=====
+
+When `CONFIG_ARM64_MTE_SWAP_STATS` is enabled, `arch/arm64/mm/mteswap.c` exports
+usage statistics for tag compression used when swapping tagged pages. The data
+can be accessed via debugfs::
+
+  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mteswap/stats
+  8 bytes:        10438 allocations,      10417 deallocations
+  128 bytes:      26180 allocations,      26179 deallocations
+  uncompressed tag storage size:  2816
+  compressed tag storage size:    128
