If FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR (Armv8.9) is supported, bits 63:60 of the fault address
are preserved in response to synchronous tag check faults (SEGV_MTESERR).
This patch modifies below to support this feature:
- Use the original FAR_EL1 value when an MTE tag check fault occurs,
if ARM64_MTE_FAR is supported so that not only logical tag
(bits 59:56) but also address tag (bits 63:60] being reported too.
- Add HWCAP for mtefar to let user know bits 63:60 includes
address tag information when when FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR is supported.
Applications that require this information should install
a signal handler with the SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS flag.
While this introduces a minor ABI change,
most applications do not set this flag and therefore will not be affected.

4. Unused AT_HWCAP bits
-----------------------
on the tag information for user virtual addresses being maintained
in these fields unless the flag was set.
-Due to architecture limitations, bits 63:60 of the fault address
-are not preserved in response to synchronous tag check faults
-(SEGV_MTESERR) even if SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS was set. Applications should
-treat the values of these bits as undefined in order to accommodate
-future architecture revisions which may preserve the bits.
+If FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR (Armv8.9) is supported, bits 63:60 of the fault address

For signals raised in response to watchpoint debug exceptions, the
tag information will be preserved regardless of the SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS
