Does having a tagged address here makes any difference? I couldn't hit a
failure with my simple tests (LD_PRELOAD a library that randomly adds
tags to pointers returned by malloc).
I think you're right, follow_page_mask is only called from
__get_user_pages, which already untagged the address. I'll remove
untagging here.
It also called from follow_page(). Have you covered all its callers?
