    linux: Add compatibility definitions to sys/prctl.h for MTE
    
    Older versions of the Linux kernel headers obviously lack support for
    memory tagging, but we still want to be able to build in support when
    using those (obviously it can't be enabled on such systems).
    
    The linux kernel extensions are made to the platform-independent
    header (linux/prctl.h), so this patch takes a similar approach.
