IIUC, that's dead code. See my comment below on do_tag_check_fault().
That's correct. This was useful with "panic_on_mte_fault" kernel command line
parameter. Since it has now been replaced by a similar kasan feature, this code
can be safely removed.

Unnecessary empty line.
Agree.

Ooooh, do we expect the kernel to still behave correctly after this? I
thought the recovery means disabling tag checking altogether and
restarting the instruction rather than skipping over it. We only skip if
we emulated it.
I tried to dig it out but I am not sure why we need this as well.

So we never invoke __do_kernel_fault() for a synchronous tag check in
the kernel. What's with all the is_el1_mte_sync_tag_check_fault() check
above?
That's correct. This had a meaning with "panic_on_mte_fault" but since the
feature has been replaced is_el1_mte_sync_tag_check_fault() is not useful anymore.
