Are there any instructions that are useful for "probe_user_write()"
kind of thing? We could always just add that as an arch function, with
a fallback to using the futex "add zero" if the architecture doesn't
need anything special.
Although at least for MTE, I think the solution was to do a regular
read, and that checks the tag, and then we could use the gup machinery
for the writability checks.
