[PATCH RFC v2 13/27] arm64: mte: Make tag storage depend on ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK

[Alexandru Elisei]

Tag storage memory requires that the tag storage pages used for data are
always migratable when they need to be repurposed to store tags.

If ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK is enabled, kexec will scan all non-reserved
memblocks to find a suitable location for copying the kernel image. The
kernel image, once loaded, cannot be moved to another location in physical
memory. The initialization code for the tag storage reserves the memblocks
for the tag storage pages, which means kexec will not use them, and the tag
storage pages can be migrated at any time, which is the desired behaviour.

However, if ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK is not selected, kexec will not skip a
region unless the memory resource has the IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED
flag, which isn't currently set by the tag storage initialization code.

Make ARM64_MTE_TAG_STORAGE depend on ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK to make it explicit
that that the Kconfig option required for it to work correctly.
