Pages allocated by the kernel are not guaranteed to have the tags
zeroed, especially as the kernel does not (yet) use MTE itself. To
ensure the user can still access such pages when mapped into its address
space, clear the tags via set_pte_at(). A new page flag - PG_mte_tagged
(PG_arch_2) - is used to track pages with valid allocation tags.
Since the zero page is mapped as pte_special(), it won't be covered by
the above set_pte_at() mechanism. Clear its tags during early MTE
initialisation.

The Memory Tagging Extension has two modes of notifying a tag check
fault at EL0, configurable through the SCTLR_EL1.TCF0 field:
1. Synchronous raising of a Data Abort exception with DFSC 17.
2. Asynchronous setting of a cumulative bit in TFSRE0_EL1.
Add the exception handler for the synchronous exception and handling of
the asynchronous TFSRE0_EL1.TF0 bit setting via a new TIF flag in
do_notify_resume().
On a tag check failure in user-space, whether synchronous or
asynchronous, a SIGSEGV will be raised on the faulting thread.
