KVM: arm64: Avoid mistaken attempts to save SVE state for vcpus
Commit e6b673b7 ("KVM: arm64: Optimise FPSIMD handling to reduce guest/host thrashing") uses fpsimd_save() to save the FPSIMD state for a vcpu when scheduling the vcpu out. However, currently current's value of TIF_SVE is restored before calling fpsimd_save() which means that fpsimd_save() may erroneously attempt to save SVE state from the vcpu. This enables current's vector state to be polluted with guest data. current->thread.sve_state may be unallocated or not large enough, so this can also trigger a NULL dereference or buffer overrun. Instead of this, TIF_SVE should be configured properly for the guest when calling fpsimd_save() with the vcpu context loaded. This patch ensures this by delaying restoration of current's TIF_SVE until after the call to fpsimd_save().
