[PATCH v2 1/6] arm64/signal: Don't redundantly verify FPSIMD magic

[Mark Brown]

We validate that the magic in the struct fpsimd_context is correct in
restore_fpsimd_context() but this is redundant since parse_user_sigframe()
uses this magic to decide to call the function in the first place. Remove
the extra validation.
