I was considering that we can enable in-kernel MTE without enabling
CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS, but perhaps this isn't what we want. I'll drop
this part in v2, but then we also need to make sure that in-kernel MTE
is only enabled when CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled. Do we need more
ifdefs in arm64 patches when we write to MTE-related registers, or
does this work as is?
