Add a testcase to check that user address with valid/invalid mte tag works in kernel mode. This test verifies that the kernel API's __arch_copy_from_user/__arch_copy_to_user works by considering if the user pointer has valid/invalid allocation tags. In MTE sync mode, file memory read/write and other similar interfaces fails if a user memory with invalid tag is accessed in kernel. In async mode no such failure occurs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
