I think we should enable this dummy function when !CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS.
It saves us an unnecessary function call in a few places.

While for kernel entry the asynchronous faults are sync'ed automatically
with TFSR_EL1, we don't have this for exit, so we'd need an explicit
DSB. But rather than placing it here, it's better if we add a bool sync
argument to mte_check_tfsr_el1() which issues a dsb() before checking
the register. I think that's the only place where such argument would be
true (for now).

If we define the static inline when !CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS, we could add
the #ifdef here around the whole function.

Do we need this to be NOKPROBE_SYMBOL? It's not that low level.
