arm64/fpsimd: Ensure SME storage is allocated after SVE VL changes
When we reconfigure the SVE vector length we discard the backing storage for the SVE vectors and then reallocate on next SVE use, leaving the SME specific state alone. This means that we do not enable SME traps if they were already disabled. That means that userspace code can enter streaming mode without trapping, putting the task in a state where if we try to save the state of the task we will fault. Since the ABI does not specify that changing the SVE vector length disturbs SME state, and since SVE code may not be aware of SME code in the process, we shouldn't simply discard any ZA state. Instead immediately reallocate the storage for SVE, and disable SME if we change the SVE vector length while there is no SME state active. Disabling SME traps on SVE vector length changes would make the overall code more complex since we would have a state where we have valid SME state stored but might get a SME trap.
