[PATCH v6 12/24] erofs: introduce tagged pointer

Gao Xiang

Currently kernel has scattered tagged pointer usages
hacked by hand in plain code, without a unique and
portable functionset to highlight the tagged pointer
itself and wrap these hacked code in order to clean up
all over meaningless magic masks.

This patch introduces simple generic methods to fold
tags into a pointer integer. Currently it supports
the last n bits of the pointer for tags, which can be
selected by users.

In addition, it will also be used for the upcoming EROFS
filesystem, which heavily uses tagged pointer pproach
to reduce extra memory allocation.
