arm64: mte: switch GCR_EL1 in kernel entry and exit

Browse source 
When MTE is present, the GCR_EL1 register contains the tags mask that
allows to exclude tags from the random generation via the IRG instruction.

With the introduction of the new Tag-Based KASAN API that provides a
mechanism to reserve tags for special reasons, the MTE implementation has
to make sure that the GCR_EL1 setting for the kernel does not affect the
userspace processes and viceversa.

Save and restore the kernel/user mask in GCR_EL1 in kernel entry and exit.
