When the Memory Tagging Extension is enabled, two pages are identical only if both their data and tags are identical. Make the generic memcmp_pages() a __weak function and add an arm64-specific implementation which returns non-zero if any of the two pages contain valid MTE tags (PG_mte_tagged set). There isn't much benefit in comparing the tags of two pages since these are normally used for heap allocations and likely to differ anyway.

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.
