arm64: doc: Add brk/mmap/mremap() to the Tagged Address ABI Exceptions
Prior to commit dcde237319e6 ("mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in brk()/mmap()/mremap()"), the kernel allowed tagged addresses to be passed to the brk/mmap/mremap() syscalls. This relaxation was tightened in 5.6 (backported to stable 5.4) but the tagged-address-abi.rst document was only partially updated.
