syscall_user_dispatch: Untag selector address before access_ok()
To support checkpoint/restart, ptrace must be able to set the selector of the tracee. The selector is a user pointer that may be subject to memory tagging extensions on some architectures (namely ARM MTE). access_ok() clears memory tags for tagged addresses if the current task has memory tagging enabled. This obviously fails when ptrace modifies the selector of a tracee when tracer and tracee do not have the same memory tagging enabled state. Solve this by untagging the selector address before handing it to access_ok(), like other ptrace functions which modify tracee pointers do. Obviously a tracer can set an invalid selector address for the tracee, but that's independent of tagging and a general capability of the tracer.
