KVM: arm64: Unconditionally save+flush host FPSIMD/SVE/SME state
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-68997
There are several problems with the way hyp code lazily saves the host's
FPSIMD/SVE state, including:
* Host SVE being discarded unexpectedly due to inconsistent
configuration of TIF_SVE and CPACR_ELx.ZEN. This has been seen to
result in QEMU crashes where SVE is used by memmove(), as reported by
Eric Auger:
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-68997
* Host SVE state is discarded *after* modification by ptrace, which was an
unintentional ptrace ABI change introduced with lazy discarding of SVE state.
* The host FPMR value can be discarded when running a non-protected VM,
where FPMR support is not exposed to a VM, and that VM uses
FPSIMD/SVE. In these cases the hyp code does not save the host's FPMR
before unbinding the host's FPSIMD/SVE/SME state, leaving a stale
value in memory.
Avoid these by eagerly saving and "flushing" the host's FPSIMD/SVE/SME
state when loading a vCPU such that KVM does not need to save any of the
host's FPSIMD/SVE/SME state. For clarity, fpsimd_kvm_prepare() is
removed and the necessary call to fpsimd_save_and_flush_cpu_state() is
placed in kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp(). As 'fpsimd_state' and 'fpmr_ptr'
should not be used, they are set to NULL; all uses of these will be
removed in subsequent patches.
Historical problems go back at least as far as v5.17, e.g. erroneous
assumptions about TIF_SVE being clear in commit:
8383741 ("KVM: arm64: Get rid of host SVE tracking/saving")
... and so this eager save+flush probably needs to be backported to ALL
stable trees.
Fixes: 93ae6b0 ("KVM: arm64: Discard any SVE state when entering KVM guests")
Fixes: 8c845e2 ("arm64/sve: Leave SVE enabled on syscall if we don't context switch")
Fixes: ef3be86 ("KVM: arm64: Add save/restore support for FPMR")

Conflicts: contextual conflict in
arch/arm64/kvm/fpsimd.c
1) we don't have FP8 support at KVM and in particular
ef3be86 ("KVM: arm64: Add save/restore support for FPMR")
so we don't need to reset *host_data_ptr(fpmr_ptr)
2) we don't have d381e53 ("KVM: arm64: Move host SME/SVE tracking
flags to host data")
