    arm64: mte: configure initial state for system registers
    
    The fields in SCTLR_EL1 and HCR_EL2 for enabling MTE are set, and if the
    ID_AA64PFR1_EL1 register shows MTE is present, the GCR_EL1 register is
    also configured, and the two TFSR registers which hold pending tag check
    faults are cleared.
