Nit: in line we the other functions in thread_flush we could have something like
"tagged_addr_thread_flush", maybe inlined.

process.c seems already a bit "overcrowded". Probably we could move all the
tagged_addr features in a separate file. What do you think? It would make easier
the implementation of mte as well going forward.

Why do we need two prctl here? We could have only one and use arg2 as set/get
and arg3 as a parameter. What do you think?
