[RFC 7/9] x86/mm: Handle tagged memory accesses from kernel threads

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>]

When a kernel thread performs memory access on behalf of a process (like
in async I/O, io_uring, etc.) it has to respect tagging setup of the
process as user addresses can include tags.

Normally, LAM setup is per-thread and recorded in thread flags, but for
this use case we also track LAM setup per-mm. mm->context.lam would
record LAM that allows the most tag bits among the threads of the mm.

The info used by switch_mm_irqs_off() to construct CR3 if the task is
kernel thread. Thread flags of the kernel thread get updated according
to mm->context.lam. It allows untagged_addr() to work correctly.
