[PATCH v10 0/6] MTE support for KVM guest

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

This version is rebased on v5.12-rc2.

Changes since v9[1]:
 * Check fault_status in user_mem_abort() to avoid unnecessarily
   checking if tags need clearing when handling permission faults.
 * The MTE CPU feature exposed is now 0b10 explicitly rather than the
   host's CPU feature. This prevents problems when a newer MTE version
   is supported by the host CPU.
 * Add a couple of reserved u64s to struct kvm_arm_copy_mte_tags for
   potential future expansion (and check they are 0 for now).
 * Correctly hold slots_lock during the ioctl (rather than
   embarrassingly not do any locking as before...).
 * Add the structure definition to the documentation and some
   improvements suggested by Peter.
