KVM: arm64: permit all VM_MTE_ALLOWED mappings with MTE enabled

Certain VMMs such as crosvm have features (e.g. sandboxing) that depend
on being able to map guest memory as MAP_SHARED. The current restriction
on sharing MAP_SHARED pages with the guest is preventing the use of
those features with MTE. Now that the races between tasks concurrently
clearing tags on the same page have been fixed, remove this restriction.

Note that this is a relaxation of the ABI.
