Mark Rutland 64a9ee6e11 arm64/fpsimd: Avoid warning when sve_to_fpsimd() is unused 
[ Upstream commit f699c66691 ]

Historically fpsimd_to_sve() and sve_to_fpsimd() were (conditionally)
called by functions which were defined regardless of CONFIG_ARM64_SVE.
Hence it was necessary that both fpsimd_to_sve() and sve_to_fpsimd()
were always defined and not guarded by ifdeffery.

As a result of the removal of fpsimd_signal_preserve_current_state() in
commit:

  929fa99b12 ("arm64/fpsimd: signal: Always save+flush state early")

... sve_to_fpsimd() has no callers when CONFIG_ARM64_SVE=n, resulting in
a build-time warnign that it is unused:

| arch/arm64/kernel/fpsimd.c:676:13: warning: unused function 'sve_to_fpsimd' [-Wunused-function]
|   676 | static void sve_to_fpsimd(struct task_struct *task)
|       |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
| 1 warning generated.

In contrast, fpsimd_to_sve() still has callers which are defined when
CONFIG_ARM64_SVE=n, and it would be awkward to hide this behind
ifdeffery and/or to use stub functions.

For now, suppress the warning by marking both fpsimd_to_sve() and
sve_to_fpsimd() as 'static inline', as we usually do for stub functions.
The compiler will no longer warn if either function is unused.

Aside from suppressing the warning, there should be no functional change
as a result of this patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
