The mte code is only in -next but since it's based on 5.8-rc3, we can't
change it without breaking it.

Is there a stable branch somewhere with the gup patches? If not, I can
provisionally drop the affected MTE patches from -next and push them
upstream closer to the -rc1 (it's the ptrace support from MTE).
