Following several discussions on the list and in private, I'm proposing
the update below. I can send it as a patch on top of the current series
since Will has already queued this.

Subject: [PATCH] fixup! arm64: Introduce prctl() options to control the
 tagged user addresses ABI

Rename abi.tagged_addr sysctl control to abi.tagged_addr_disabled,
defaulting to 0. Only prevent prctl(PR_TAGGED_ADDR_ENABLE)from being
called when abi.tagged_addr_disabled==1.

Force unused arg* of the new prctl() to 0.
