arm64: mte: Do not allow PROT_MTE on MAP_HUGETLB user mappings



PROT_MTE (memory tagging extensions) is not supported on all user mmap()
types for various reasons (memory attributes, backing storage, CoW
handling). The arm64 arch_validate_flags() function checks whether the
VM_MTE_ALLOWED flag has been set for a vma during mmap(), usually by
arch_calc_vm_flag_bits().

Linux prior to 6.13 does not support PROT_MTE hugetlb mappings. This was
added by commit 25c17c4b ("hugetlb: arm64: add mte support").
However, earlier kernels inadvertently set VM_MTE_ALLOWED on
(MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_HUGETLB) mappings by only checking for
MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Explicitly check MAP_HUGETLB in arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and avoid
setting VM_MTE_ALLOWED for such mappings.
