Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 16/35] KVM: arm64: Don't deny VM_PFNMAP VMAs when kvm_has_mte()

According to ARM DDI 0487J.a, page D10-5976, a memory location which
doesn't have the Normal memory attribute is considered Untagged, and
accesses are Tag Unchecked. Tag reads from an Untagged address return
0b0000, and writes are ignored.

Linux uses VM_PFNMAP VMAs represent device memory, and Linux doesn't set
the VM_MTE_ALLOWED flag for these VMAs.

In user_mem_abort(), KVM requires that all VMAs that back guest memory must
allow tagging (VM_MTE_ALLOWED flag set), except for VMAs that represent
device memory.  When a memslot is created or changed, KVM enforces a
different behaviour: **all** VMAs that intersect the memslot must allow
tagging, even those that represent device memory. This is too restrictive,
and can lead to inconsistent behaviour: a VM_PFNMAP VMA that is present
when a memslot is created causes KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION to fail, but if
such a VMA is created after the memslot has been created, the virtual
machine will run without errors.

Change kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region() to allow VM_PFNMAP VMAs when the VM
has the MTE capability enabled.
