  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.

The way x86_64 CET support does this is to add an architecture-specific 
prctl.h that includes the next prctl.h and adds its own definitions 
under it, thus keeping these changes separate.  It may be more 
consistent to stay with that approach within glibc.
