case PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON:
if (selector && !access_ok(selector, sizeof(*selector)))
return -EFAULT;

I'm not seing how this can work on ARM64 when user pointer tagging is
enabled in the tracee, but not in the tracer. In such a case, if the
pointer is tagged, access_ok() will fail because access_ok() wont untag
it.
