Right, thanks for the hint.
I guess the conflict resolution in -next will be something like:

We still have VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS but I think this is fine, the flag
is set by the arch code. This is only to allow mprotect(PROT_MTE) on brk
ranges if any user app wants to do that.
I did not specifically require that only the arch code sets
VM_MTE_ALLOWED but I'd expect it to be the case unless we get some
obscure arm-specific driver that wants to allow MTE on mmap for on-chip
memory (very unlikely though).
That 'if' block needs to be split into multiple ones, it becomes harder
to read. shmem_file() does check for !file but is_file_hugepages()
doesn't, might as well put them under the same 'if' block. And thinking
about it, current arm64 code seems broken as it allows
mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB) but it doesn't actually work properly
prior to Yang's patch in -next.
