arm64: mte: avoid TFSRE0_EL1 related operations unless in async mode
There is no reason to touch TFSRE0_EL1 nor issue a DSB unless our task is in asynchronous mode. Since these operations (especially the DSB) may be expensive on certain microarchitectures, only perform them if necessary. Furthermore, stop clearing TFSRE0_EL1 on entry because it will be cleared on exit and it is not necessary to have any particular value in TFSRE0_EL1 between entry and exit.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
