When we are doing a FEAT_MOPS copy that must be performed backwards,
we call mte_mops_probe_rev(), passing it the address of the last byte
in the region we are probing. However, allocation_tag_mem_probe()
wants the address of the first byte to get the tag memory for.
Because we passed it (ptr, size) we could incorrectly trip the
allocation_tag_mem_probe() check for "does this access run across to
the following page", and if that following page happened not to be
valid then we would assert.
We know we will always be only dealing with a single page because the
code that calls mte_mops_probe_rev() ensures that. We could make
mte_mops_probe_rev() pass 'ptr - (size - 1)' to
allocation_tag_mem_probe(), but then we would have to adjust the
returned 'mem' pointer to get back to the tag RAM for the last byte
of the region. It's simpler to just pass in a size of 1 byte,
because we know that allocation_tag_mem_probe() in pure-probe
single-page mode doesn't care about the size.
