[PATCH v3 1/3] arm64: restore FPSIMD to default state for kernel and signal contexts

From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu at huawei.com>

Restore FPSIMD control and status registers to default values
when creating new FPSIMD contexts for kernel context and reset
FPSIMD status register when creating FPSIMD context for signal
handling, otherwise the stale value in FPSIMD control and status
registers may affect the new kernal or signal handling contexts.
