arm64: mte: Do not set PG_mte_tagged if tags were not initialized
The mte_sync_page_tags() function sets PG_mte_tagged if it initializes
page tags. Then we return to mte_sync_tags(), which sets PG_mte_tagged
again. At best, this is redundant. However, it is possible for
mte_sync_page_tags() to return without having initialized tags for the
page, i.e. in the case where check_swap is true (non-compound page),
is_swap_pte(old_pte) is false and pte_is_tagged is false. So at worst,
we set PG_mte_tagged on a page with uninitialized tags. This can happen
if, for example, page migration causes a PTE for an untagged page to
be replaced. If the userspace program subsequently uses mprotect() to
enable PROT_MTE for that page, the uninitialized tags will be exposed
to userspace.
Fix it by removing the redundant call to set_page_mte_tagged().
