v14: implement task_access_ok variant for cross-task pointer checks
     patch 2/4 changed from access_ok to task_access_ok

v13: sizeof consistency and cosmetic changes in patch 2

v12: split test into its own patch
     change from padding a u8 to using a u64
     casting issues

[truncating version history]

Syscall user dispatch makes it possible to cleanly intercept system
calls from user-land.  However, most transparent checkpoint software
presently leverages some combination of ptrace and system call
injection to place software in a ready-to-checkpoint state.

If Syscall User Dispatch is enabled at the time of being quiesced,
injected system calls will subsequently be interposed upon and
dispatched to the task's signal handler.

Patch summary:
- Create new task_access_ok which leverages the provided task's
  information when validating userland pointers.  For ARM64 this means
  MTE tags are accounted for.  For all other architectures, this simply
  reduces to access_ok (presently).

- Refactor configuration setting interface to operate on a task
  rather than current, so the set and error paths can be consolidated

- Implement a getter interface for Syscall User Dispatch config info.
  To resume successfully, the checkpoint/resume software has to
  save and restore this information.  Presently this configuration
  is write-only, with no way for C/R software to save it.

  This was done in ptrace because syscall user dispatch is not part of
  uapi. The syscall_user_dispatch_config structure was added to the
  ptrace exports.

- Selftest for the new feature
