proc: use untagged_addr() for pagemap_read addresses

When we try to visit the pagemap of a tagged userspace pointer, we find
that the start_vaddr is not correct because of the tag.
To fix it, we should untag the userspace pointers in pagemap_read().

I tested with 5.10-rc4 and the issue remains.

Explanation from Catalin in [1]:

 "Arguably, that's a user-space bug since tagged file offsets were never
  supported. In this case it's not even a tag at bit 56 as per the arm64
  tagged address ABI but rather down to bit 47. You could say that the
  problem is caused by the C library (malloc()) or whoever created the
  tagged vaddr and passed it to this function. It's not a kernel
  regression as we've never supported it.

  Now, pagemap is a special case where the offset is usually not
  generated as a classic file offset but rather derived by shifting a
  user virtual address. I guess we can make a concession for pagemap
  (only) and allow such offset with the tag at bit (56 - PAGE_SHIFT + 3)"

My test code is based on [2]:

A userspace pointer which has been tagged by 0xb4: 0xb400007662f541c8

userspace program:

  uint64 OsLayer::VirtualToPhysical(void *vaddr) {
	uint64 frame, paddr, pfnmask, pagemask;
	int pagesize = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
	off64_t off = ((uintptr_t)vaddr) / pagesize * 8; // off = 0xb400007662f541c8 / pagesize * 8 = 0x5a00003b317aa0
	int fd = open(kPagemapPath, O_RDONLY);
	...

	if (lseek64(fd, off, SEEK_SET) != off || read(fd, &frame, 8) != 8) {
		int err = errno;
		string errtxt = ErrorString(err);
		if (fd >= 0)
			close(fd);
		return 0;
	}
  ...
  }

kernel fs/proc/task_mmu.c:

  static ssize_t pagemap_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf,
		size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
  {
	...
	src = *ppos;
	svpfn = src / PM_ENTRY_BYTES; // svpfn == 0xb400007662f54
	start_vaddr = svpfn << PAGE_SHIFT; // start_vaddr == 0xb400007662f54000
	end_vaddr = mm->task_size;

	/* watch out for wraparound */
	// svpfn == 0xb400007662f54
	// (mm->task_size >> PAGE) == 0x8000000
	if (svpfn > mm->task_size >> PAGE_SHIFT) // the condition is true because of the tag 0xb4
		start_vaddr = end_vaddr;

	ret = 0;
	while (count && (start_vaddr < end_vaddr)) { // we cannot visit correct entry because start_vaddr is set to end_vaddr
		int len;
		unsigned long end;
		...
	}
	...
  }
