Add support for bulk setting/getting of the MTE tags in a tracee's address space at 'addr' in the ptrace() syscall prototype. 'data' points to a struct iovec in the tracer's address space with iov_base representing the address of a tracer's buffer of length iov_len. The tags to be copied to/from the tracer's buffer are stored as one tag per byte. On successfully copying at least one tag, ptrace() returns 0 and updates the tracer's iov_len with the number of tags copied. In case of error, either -EIO or -EFAULT is returned, trying to follow the ptrace() man page. Note that the tag copying functions are not performance critical, therefore they lack optimisations found in typical memory copy routines.

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.
