KVM: arm64: Reject guest_memfd memslots when the VM has MTE
The user cannot use MTE on VMAs created by mapping a guest_memfd file,
as arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() does not set VM_MTE_ALLOWED.
When creating a guest_memfd backed memslot,
kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region() rejects the memslot if MTE is enabled for
the VM and if guest_memfd has been mapped in a VMA that intersects the
memslot.
However, the documentation for KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 explicitly
states that the only condition for userspace_addr is for it to be a legal
userspace address, but the mapping is not required to be valid nor
populated at memslot creation.
If userspace sets userspace_addr to an address that hasn't been mapped, or
if userspace_addr belongs to a VMA that isn't backed by the guest_memfd
file, or if the VMA doesn't intersect the memslot, memslot creation is
successful and KVM ends up with a VM with MTE and guest_memfd-backed
memslots.
The same happens if the order is reversed: when userspace enables MTE, KVM
does not check if memslots backed by guest_memfd are already present.
Fix both issues by rejecting guest_memfd-backed memslots when MTE is
enabled, and by rejecting MTE when guest_memfd-backed memslots are already
present.
