This seems a noop, define "arch_prepare_to_swap" back to itself.
What am I missing?

I see. Answer my own question, I guess you want to allow someone to
overwrite the arch_prepare_to_swap.
Wouldn't testing against __HAVE_ARCH_PREPARE_TO_SWAP enough to support that?

Maybe I need to understand better how you want others to extend this
code to make suggestions.
As it is, this looks strange.

Same here.

Very minor nitpick.

You can do
if (!system_supports_mte())
return 0;

Here and the for loop would have less indent. The function looks flatter.

Same here.

Looks good otherwise. None of the nitpicks are deal breakers.
