The EFI specific SVE/SME state preserve/restore logic is unneeded, and
can be removed. Patch #1 adds some lkdtm test cases to emulate the
condition under which this code might be called.
v2:
- Document that BUG_IN_HARDIRQ and PANIC_IN_HARDIRQ will crash the
system.
- Add Kees's R-b
- Rebase onto torvalds's tree of today so it is expected to apply
cleanly to -rc1
