[PATCH v1 5/6] arm64/signal: Only read new data when parsing the SVE context

When we parse the SVE signal context we read the entire context from
userspace, including the generic signal context header which was already
read by parse_user_sigframe() and padding bytes that we ignore. Avoid the
possibility of relying on the second read of the data read twice by only
reading the data which we are actually going to use.
