[PATCH v14 0/8] MTE support for KVM guest

This series adds support for using the Arm Memory Tagging Extensions
(MTE) in a KVM guest.

Changes since v13[1]:

 * Add Reviewed-by tags from Catalin - thanks!

 * Introduce a new function mte_prepare_page_tags() for handling the
   initialisation of pages ready for a KVM guest. This takes the big
   tag_sync_lock removing any race with the VMM (or another guest)
   around clearing the tags and setting PG_mte_tagged.

 * The ioctl to fetch/store tags now returns the number of bytes
   processed so userspace can tell how far a partial fetch/store got.

 * Some minor refactoring to tidy up the code thanks to pointers from
   Catalin.
