[PATCH v3] arm64/signal: Avoid corruption of SME state when entering signal handler

We intend that signal handlers are entered with PSTATE.{SM,ZA}={0,0}.
The logic for this in setup_return() manipulates the saved state and
live CPU state in an unsafe manner, and consequently, when a task enters
a signal handler:
* The task entering the signal handler might not have its PSTATE.{SM,ZA}
bits cleared, and other register state that is affected by changes to
PSTATE.{SM,ZA} might not be zeroed as expected.
* An unrelated task might have its PSTATE.{SM,ZA} bits cleared
unexpectedly, potentially zeroing other register state that is
affected by changes to PSTATE.{SM,ZA}.
Tasks which do not set PSTATE.{SM,ZA} (i.e. those only using plain
FPSIMD or non-streaming SVE) are not affected, as there is no
resulting change to PSTATE.{SM,ZA}.
Consider for example two tasks on one CPU:
A: Begins signal entry in kernel mode, is preempted prior to SMSTOP.
B: Using SM and/or ZA in userspace with register state current on the
CPU, is preempted.
A: Scheduled in, no register state changes made as in kernel mode.
A: Executes SMSTOP, modifying live register state.
A: Scheduled out.
B: Scheduled in, fpsimd_thread_switch() sees the register state on the
CPU is tracked as being that for task B so the state is not reloaded
prior to returning to userspace.
Task B is now running with SM and ZA incorrectly cleared.
Fix this by:
* Checking TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE, and only updating the saved or live
state as appropriate.
* Using {get,put}_cpu_fpsimd_context() to ensure mutual exclusion
against other code which manipulates this state. To allow their use,
the logic is moved into a new fpsimd_enter_sighandler() helper in
fpsimd.c.
This race has been observed intermittently with fp-stress, especially
with preempt disabled, commonly but not exclusively reporting "Bad SVCR: 0".
While we're at it also fix a discrepancy between in register and in memory
entries. When operating on the register state we issue a SMSTOP, exiting
streaming mode if we were in it. This clears the V/Z and P register and
FPMR but nothing else. The in memory version clears all the user FPSIMD
state including FPCR and FPSR but does not clear FPMR. Add the clear of
FPMR and limit the existing memset() to only cover the vregs, preserving
the state of FPCR and FPSR like SMSTOP does.

Changes in v3:
- Fix the in memory update to follow the behaviour of the SMSTOP we
issue when updating in registers.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241030-arm64-fp-sme-sigentry-v2-1-43ce805d1b20@kernel.org
Changes in v2:
- Commit message tweaks.
- Flush the task state when updating in memory to ensure we reload.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241023-arm64-fp-sme-sigentry-v1-1-249ff7ec3ad0@kernel.org
