[PATCH v2] arm64/fpsimd: Exit streaming mode when flushing tasks

[PATCH v2] arm64/fpsimd: Exit streaming mode when flushing tasks

[Mark Brown]

Ensure there is no path where we might attempt to save SME state after we
flush a task by updating the SVCR register state as well as updating our
in memory state. I haven't seen a specific case where this is happening or
seen a path where it might happen but for the cost of a single low overhead
instruction it seems sensible to close the potential gap.

Changes in v2:
- Do a full SMSTOP to cover ZA as well.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230607-arm64-flush-svcr-v1-1-7821a6199e0a@kernel.org

Applied to arm64 (for-next/misc), thanks!
