This series fixes an issue which David Spickett found where if we change
the SVE VL while SME is in use we can end up attempting to save state to
an unallocated buffer and adds testing coverage for that plus a bit more
coverage of VL changes, just for paranioa.

      arm64/fpsimd: Ensure SME storage is allocated after SVE VL changes
      kselftest/arm64: Add a test case for SVE VL changes with SME active
      kselftest/arm64: Validate that changing one VL type does not affect another
