[PATCH v3 2/2] efi/arm64: preserve FP/SIMD registers on UEFI runtime services calls

According to the UEFI spec section 2.3.6.4, the use of FP/SIMD instructions is
allowed, and should adhere to the AAPCS64 calling convention, which states that
'only the bottom 64 bits of each value stored in registers v8-v15 need to be
preserved' (section 5.1.2).

This applies equally to UEFI Runtime Services called by the kernel, so make sure
the FP/SIMD register file is preserved in this case. We do this by enabling the
wrappers for UEFI Runtime Services (CONFIG_EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS) and inserting
calls to kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() into these wrappers.
