From: Steven Price <steven.price@xxxxxxx>
Arm's Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) adds some metadata (tags) to
every physical page, when swapping pages out to disk it is necessary to
save these tags, and later restore them when reading the pages back.
Add some hooks along with dummy implementations to enable the
arch code to handle this.
Three new hooks are added to the swap code:
* arch_prepare_to_swap() and
* arch_swap_invalidate_page() / arch_swap_invalidate_area().
One new hook is added to shmem:
* arch_swap_restore()

[catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx: add unlock_page() on the error path]
[catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx: dropped the _tags suffix]

Notes:
v6:
- Added comment on where the arch code should define the overriding
macros (asm/pgtable.h).
- Dropped _tags suffix from arch_swap_restore_tags().
New in v4.
