Will Deacon 20fc1431bc KVM: arm64: Fix softirq masking in FPSIMD register saving sequence
Stable commit 23249dade2 ("KVM: arm64: Fix kernel BUG() due to bad
backport of FPSIMD/SVE/SME fix") fixed a kernel BUG() caused by a bad
backport of upstream commit fbc7e61195 ("KVM: arm64: Unconditionally
save+flush host FPSIMD/SVE/SME state") by ensuring that softirqs are
disabled/enabled across the fpsimd register save operation.

Unfortunately, although this fixes the original issue, it can now lead
to deadlock when re-enabling softirqs causes pending softirqs to be
handled with locks already held:

 | BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#7, CPU 3/KVM/57616

Take a tiny step towards the upstream fix in 9b19700e62 ("arm64:
fpsimd: Drop unneeded 'busy' flag") by additionally disabling hardirqs
while saving the fpsimd registers.
