[PATCH v4 01/15] arm64: mm: Map the linear alias of text/rodata as tagged

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>

Before moving the empty_zero_page into the __ro_after_init section, make
sure it has the memory-tagged type. This is needed to ensure that
cpu_enable_mte() will be able to initialize the tags correctly.
