[PATCH] arm64: mte: allow async MTE to be upgraded to sync on a per-CPU basis

[Peter Collingbourne <pcc@google.com>]

On some CPUs the performance of MTE in synchronous mode is the same
as that of asynchronous mode. This makes it worthwhile to enable
synchronous mode on those CPUs when asynchronous mode is requested,
in order to gain the error detection benefits of synchronous mode
without the performance downsides. Therefore, make it possible for CPUs
to opt into upgrading to synchronous mode via a new mte-prefer-sync
device tree attribute.
