This pfn_valid() check may be problematic. Following commit eeb0753ba27b
("arm64/mm: Fix pfn_valid() for ZONE_DEVICE based memory"), it returns
true for ZONE_DEVICE memory but such memory is allowed not to support
MTE.

I now wonder if we can get a MAP_ANONYMOUS mapping of ZONE_DEVICE pfn
even without virtualisation.
