Nitpick (less indentation):

	if (!kvm_has_mte(kvm))

And I think the real risk here is when the page is writable by at least
one of the VMs sharing the page. This excludes KSM, so it only leaves
the MAP_SHARED mappings.

If we want to cover this race (I'd say in a separate patch), we can call
mte_sync_page_tags(page, __pte(0), false, true) directly (hopefully I
got the arguments right). We can avoid the big lock in most cases if
kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region() sets a VM_MTE_RESET (tag clear etc.)
and __alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() clears the tags on allocation (as we
do for VM_MTE but the new flag would not affect the stage 1 VMM page
attributes).

Maybe it was discussed in a previous version, why do we need this in
addition to kvm_set_spte_gfn()?

Otherwise the patch looks fine.
