[PATCH v2 04/24] arm64/fpsimd: signal: Consistently read FPSIMD context

For historical reasons, restore_sve_fpsimd_context() has an open-coded
copy of the logic from read_fpsimd_context(), which is used to either
restore an FPSIMD-only context, or to merge FPSIMD state into an
SVE state when restoring an SVE+FPSIMD context. The logic is *almost*
identical.
Refactor the logic to avoid duplication and make this clearer.
This comes with two functional changes that I do not believe will be
problematic in practice:
* The user_fpsimd_state::size field will be checked in all restore paths
that consume it user_fpsimd_state. The kernel always populates this
field when delivering a signal, and so this should contain the
expected value unless it has been corrupted.
* If a read of user_fpsimd_state fails, we will return early without
modifying TIF_SVE, the saved SVCR, or the save fp_type. This will
leave the task in a consistent state, without potentially resurrecting
stale FPSIMD state. A read of user_fpsimd_state should never fail
unless the structure has been corrupted or the stack has been
unmapped.
