arm64: mte: Make mte_check_tfsr_*() conditional on KASAN instead of MTE
The check in mte_check_tfsr_el1() is only necessary if HW tag based KASAN is enabled. However, we were also executing the check if MTE is enabled and KASAN is enabled at build time but disabled at runtime. This turned out to cause a measurable increase in power consumption on a specific microarchitecture after enabling MTE. Moreover, on the same system, an increase in invalid syscall latency (as measured by [1]) of around 20-30% (depending on the cluster) was observed after enabling MTE; this almost entirely goes away after removing this check. Therefore, make the check conditional on whether KASAN is enabled rather than on whether MTE is enabled.
