The copy_mount_options() function takes a user pointer argument but no
size and it tries to read up to a PAGE_SIZE. However, copy_from_user()
is not guaranteed to return all the accessible bytes if, for example,
the access crosses a page boundary and gets a fault on the second page.
To work around this, the current copy_mount_options() implementation
performs two copy_from_user() passes, first to the end of the current
page and the second to what's left in the subsequent page.

On arm64 with MTE enabled, access to a user page may trigger a fault
after part of the buffer in a page has been copied (when the user
pointer tag, bits 56-59, no longer matches the allocation tag stored in
memory). Allow copy_mount_options() to handle such intra-page faults by
resorting to byte at a time copy in case of copy_from_user() failure.

Note that copy_from_user() handles the zeroing of the kernel buffer in
case of error.

Hi Al,

If there are any objections to this patch, please let me know.
Otherwise, I plan to queue it together with the rest of the arm64 MTE
series.

Thanks.

Notes:
    v6:
    - Simplified logic to fall-back to byte-by-byte if the copy_from_user()
      fails.
    
    v4:
    - Rewrite to avoid arch_has_exact_copy_from_user()
    
    New in v3.
