mm: refactor arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and arm64 MTE handling
Currently MTE is permitted in two circumstances (desiring to use MTE having been specified by the VM_MTE flag) - where MAP_ANONYMOUS is specified, as checked by arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and actualised by setting the VM_MTE_ALLOWED flag, or if the file backing the mapping is shmem, in which case we set VM_MTE_ALLOWED in shmem_mmap() when the mmap hook is activated in mmap_region(). The function that checks that, if VM_MTE is set, VM_MTE_ALLOWED is also set is the arm64 implementation of arch_validate_flags(). Unfortunately, we intend to refactor mmap_region() to perform this check earlier, meaning that in the case of a shmem backing we will not have invoked shmem_mmap() yet, causing the mapping to fail spuriously. It is inappropriate to set this architecture-specific flag in general mm code anyway, so a sensible resolution of this issue is to instead move the check somewhere else. We resolve this by setting VM_MTE_ALLOWED much earlier in do_mmap(), via the arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() call. This is an appropriate place to do this as we already check for the MAP_ANONYMOUS case here, and the shmem file case is simply a variant of the same idea - we permit RAM-backed memory. This requires a modification to the arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() signature to pass in a pointer to the struct file associated with the mapping, however this is not too egregious as this is only used by two architectures anyway - arm64 and parisc. So this patch performs this adjustment and removes the unnecessary assignment of VM_MTE_ALLOWED in shmem_mmap().
