We're possibly missing a fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu() somewhere since all
the hilarity with KVM means that we don't use the task_struct to save
state, though the task that's taking the SVE trap shouldn't be impacted
there if it didn't set TIF_SVE yet.  There *is* a window where we have
TIF_SVE set but didn't yet do the rebind but that should be in a preempt
disabled section.
