Should we describe which keys are supported here, or will this option
always turn on all the keys/instructions that the kernel implements to
date?

For this stuff in general, I wonder whether we should move this code
away from mm and to thread_strct and the process/thread paths, otherwise
we'll just have to move it all around later if ptrauth is ever to be
supported per-thread.

This would also remove the need to have individually overridable arch
mm hooks.

Adding an extra 16 bytes to thread_struct is probably not the end of the
world.  thread_struct is already well over half a K.  We could de-dupe
by refcounting or similar, but it may not be worth the complexity.

(v)

though moderately crazy usage would be required in order for this to go
wrong.

This seems an odd thing to do.  Surely, by design we never want two
processes to share the same keys?  Don't we always proceed to nuke
the keys via mm_ctx_ptrauth_init() anyway?
