This patch is a part of a series that extends arm64 kernel ABI to allow to
pass tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other
than 0x00) as syscall arguments.

prctl_set_mm() and prctl_set_mm_map() use provided user pointers for vma
lookups, which can only by done with untagged pointers.

Untag user pointers in these functions.

As the buildbot suggests, those -> should be . instead :) You might want to check your local build with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y.

This is a bit too coarse, addr is indeed used for find_vma() later on, but it is also used to access memory, by prctl_set_mm_mmap() and prctl_set_auxv().
