OK, so we rely on the caller to sanity-check the range. Fine by me but I
can see (un)poison_range() only doing this for the size. Do we guarantee
that the start address is aligned?

This function used to return a pointer and that's what the dummy static
inline does here. However, the new mte_set_mem_tag_range() doesn't
return anything. We should have consistency between the two (the new
static void definition is fine by me).

Otherwise the patch looks fine.
