arm64/sme: Implement traps and syscall handling for SME



By default all SME operations in userspace will trap.  When this happens
we allocate storage space for the SME register state, set up the SVE
registers and disable traps.  We do not need to initialize ZA since the
architecture guarantees that it will be zeroed when enabled and when we
trap ZA is disabled.

On syscall we exit streaming mode if we were previously in it and ensure
that all but the lower 128 bits of the registers are zeroed while
preserving the state of ZA. This follows the aarch64 PCS for SME, ZA
state is preserved over a function call and streaming mode is exited.
Since the traps for SME do not distinguish between streaming mode SVE
and ZA usage if ZA is in use rather than reenabling traps we instead
zero the parts of the SVE registers not shared with FPSIMD and leave SME
enabled, this simplifies handling SME traps. If ZA is not in use then we
reenable SME traps and fall through to normal handling of SVE.
