[ Upstream commit 62021cc36add7b2c015b837f7893f2fb4b8c2586 ]

Now that we are explicitly telling the host FP code which register state
it needs to save we can remove the manipulation of TIF_SVE from the KVM
code, simplifying it and allowing us to optimise our handling of normal
tasks. Remove the manipulation of TIF_SVE from KVM and instead rely on
to_save to ensure we save the correct data for it.

There should be no functional or performance impact from this change.
