So, tagging can actually be locked on by having a process enable it and
then some possibly unrelated process clearing tagged_addr_prctl_allowed.
That feels a bit weird.
Do we want to allow a process that has tagging on to be able to turn
it off at all? Possibly things like CRIU might want to do that.

How do we expect this argument to be extended in the future?
I'm wondering whether this is really a bitmask or an enum, or a mixture
of the two. Maybe it doesn't matter.

I think update_thread_flag() could be used here.
