KVM: arm64: Document MTE capability and ioctl

A new capability (KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE) identifies that the kernel supports
granting a guest access to the tags, and provides a mechanism for the
VMM to enable it.

A new ioctl (KVM_ARM_MTE_COPY_TAGS) provides a simple way for a VMM to
access the tags of a guest without having to maintain a PROT_MTE mapping
in userspace. The above capability gates access to the ioctl.

4.130 KVM_ARM_MTE_COPY_TAGS
---------------------------
:Capability: KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE
:Architectures: arm64
:Type: vm ioctl
:Parameters: struct kvm_arm_copy_mte_tags
:Returns: number of bytes copied, < 0 on error (-EINVAL for incorrect
arguments, -EFAULT if memory cannot be accessed).
::
struct kvm_arm_copy_mte_tags {
__u64 guest_ipa;
__u64 length;
void __user *addr;
__u64 flags;
__u64 reserved[2];
};
Copies Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) tags to/from guest tag memory. The
``guest_ipa`` and ``length`` fields must be ``PAGE_SIZE`` aligned. The ``addr``
field must point to a buffer which the tags will be copied to or from.
``flags`` specifies the direction of copy, either ``KVM_ARM_TAGS_TO_GUEST`` or
``KVM_ARM_TAGS_FROM_GUEST``.
The size of the buffer to store the tags is ``(length / 16)`` bytes
(granules in MTE are 16 bytes long). Each byte contains a single tag
value. This matches the format of ``PTRACE_PEEKMTETAGS`` and
``PTRACE_POKEMTETAGS``.
If an error occurs before any data is copied then a negative error code is
returned. If some tags have been copied before an error occurs then the number
of bytes successfully copied is returned. If the call completes successfully
then ``length`` is returned.

7.26 KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE
--------------------
:Architectures: arm64
:Parameters: none
This capability indicates that KVM (and the hardware) supports exposing the
Memory Tagging Extensions (MTE) to the guest. It must also be enabled by the
VMM before creating any VCPUs to allow the guest access. Note that MTE is only
available to a guest running in AArch64 mode and enabling this capability will
cause attempts to create AArch32 VCPUs to fail.
When enabled the guest is able to access tags associated with any memory given
to the guest. KVM will ensure that the tags are maintained during swap or
hibernation of the host; however the VMM needs to manually save/restore the
tags as appropriate if the VM is migrated.
When this capability is enabled all memory in memslots must be mapped as
not-shareable (no MAP_SHARED), attempts to create a memslot with a
MAP_SHARED mmap will result in an -EINVAL return.
When enabled the VMM may make use of the ``KVM_ARM_MTE_COPY_TAGS`` ioctl to
perform a bulk copy of tags to/from the guest.
