This patch is a part of a series that extends arm64 kernel ABI to allow to pass tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than 0x00) as syscall arguments. mm/gup.c provides a kernel interface that accepts user addresses and manipulates user pages directly (for example get_user_pages, that is used by the futex syscall). Since a user can provided tagged addresses, we need to handle this case. Add untagging to gup.c functions that use user addresses for vma lookups.
