[PATCH RFC 27/37] arm64: mte: Reserve tag block for the zero page

On arm64, the zero page receives special treatment by having the tagged
flag set on MTE initialization, not when the page is mapped in a process
address space. Reserve the corresponding tag block when tag storage is
being activated.
