Refactor parsing of /proc/<pid>/smaps
The Linux kernel exposes the information about MTE-protected pages via the
proc filesystem, more specifically through the smaps file.
What we're looking for is a mapping with the 'mt' flag, which tells us that
mapping was created with a PROT_MTE flag and, thus, is capable of using memory
tagging.
We already parse that file for other purposes (core file
generation/filtering), so this patch refactors the code to make the parsing
of the smaps file reusable for memory tagging.
The function linux_address_in_memtag_page uses the refactored code to allow
querying for memory tag support in a particular address, and it gets used in the
next patch.
