Mark Rutland be625d803c arm64/fpsimd: signal: Consistently read FPSIMD context
For historical reasons, restore_sve_fpsimd_context() has an open-coded
copy of the logic from read_fpsimd_context(), which is used to either
restore an FPSIMD-only context, or to merge FPSIMD state into an
SVE state when restoring an SVE+FPSIMD context. The logic is *almost*
identical.

Refactor the logic to avoid duplication and make this clearer.

This comes with two functional changes that I do not believe will be
problematic in practice:

* The user_fpsimd_state::size field will be checked in all restore paths
  that consume it user_fpsimd_state. The kernel always populates this
  field when delivering a signal, and so this should contain the
  expected value unless it has been corrupted.

* If a read of user_fpsimd_state fails, we will return early without
  modifying TIF_SVE, the saved SVCR, or the save fp_type. This will
  leave the task in a consistent state, without potentially resurrecting
  stale FPSIMD state. A read of user_fpsimd_state should never fail
  unless the structure has been corrupted or the stack has been
  unmapped.

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.
