arm64: mte: handle tags zeroing at page allocation time



Currently, on an anonymous page fault, the kernel allocates a zeroed
page and maps it in user space. If the mapping is tagged (PROT_MTE),
set_pte_at() additionally clears the tags. It is, however, more
efficient to clear the tags at the same time as zeroing the data on
allocation. To avoid clearing the tags on any page (which may not be
mapped as tagged), only do this if the vma flags contain VM_MTE. This
requires introducing a new GFP flag that is used to determine whether
to clear the tags.

The DC GZVA instruction with a 0 top byte (and 0 tag) requires
top-byte-ignore. Set the TCR_EL1.{TBI1,TBID1} bits irrespective of
whether KASAN_HW is enabled.
