This adds support for swapping and hibernation with MTE tagged memory.
It's based on Catalin's v3 series[1].

To support swap, a new page flag is added which tracks whether a page
has been mapped into user space with MTE enabled (and therefore may have
valid data in the tags). Arch hooks are added to enable the
saving/restoring of these tags (in memory) when the pages are swapped
out.

Hibernation builds on the swap support by simply copying the tags out of
hardware tag storage into normal memory before the hibernation image is
created. On restore the tags are returned to the hardware tag storage.

Feedback on the approach is welcomed.
