arm64/fpsimd: ptrace/prctl: Ensure VL changes do not resurrect stale data
The SVE/SME vector lengths can be changed via prctl/ptrace syscalls.
Changes to the SVE/SME vector lengths are documented as preserving the
lower 128 bits of the Z registers (i.e. the bits shared with the FPSIMD
V registers). To ensure this, vec_set_vector_length() explicitly copies
register values from a task's saved SVE state to its saved FPSIMD state
when dropping the task to FPSIMD-only.
The logic for this was not updated when when FPSIMD/SVE state tracking
was changed across commits:
baa8515281b3 ("arm64/fpsimd: Track the saved FPSIMD state type separately to TIF_SVE")
a0136be443d5 (arm64/fpsimd: Load FP state based on recorded data type")
bbc6172eefdb ("arm64/fpsimd: SME no longer requires SVE register state")
8c845e273104 ("arm64/sve: Leave SVE enabled on syscall if we don't context switch")
Since the last commit above, a task's FPSIMD/SVE state may be stored in
FPSIMD format while TIF_SVE is set, and the stored SVE state is stale.
When vec_set_vector_length() encounters this case, it will erroneously
clobber the live FPSIMD state with stale SVE state by using
sve_to_fpsimd().
Fix this by using fpsimd_sync_from_effective_state() instead.
Related issues with streaming mode state will be addressed in subsequent
patches.
Fixes: 8c845e273104 ("arm64/sve: Leave SVE enabled on syscall if we don't context switch")
