arm64: mte: Lock a page for MTE tag initialisation
Initialising the tags and setting PG_mte_tagged flag for a page can race between multiple set_pte_at() on shared pages or setting the stage 2 pte via user_mem_abort(). Introduce a new PG_mte_lock flag as PG_arch_3 and set it before attempting page initialisation. Given that PG_mte_tagged is never cleared for a page, consider setting this flag to mean page unlocked and wait on this bit with acquire semantics if the page is locked: - try_page_mte_tagging() - lock the page for tagging, return true if it can be tagged, false if already tagged. No acquire semantics if it returns true (PG_mte_tagged not set) as there is no serialisation with a previous set_page_mte_tagged(). - set_page_mte_tagged() - set PG_mte_tagged with release semantics. The two-bit locking is based on Peter Collingbourne's idea.
