Peter Collingbourne 7b389ef531 arm64: add MTE supported check to thread switching and syscall entry/exit

commit 8c8a3b5bd9 upstream.

This lets us avoid doing unnecessary work on hardware that does not
support MTE, and will allow us to freely use MTE instructions in the
code called by mte_thread_switch().

Since this would mean that we do a redundant check in
mte_check_tfsr_el1(), remove it and add two checks now required in its
callers. This also avoids an unnecessary DSB+ISB sequence on the syscall
exit path for hardware not supporting MTE.
