When a CPU enters a low power state, its FP register content is lost.
This patch adds a notifier to save the FP context on CPU shutdown
and restore it on CPU resume. The context is saved and restored only
if the suspending thread is not a kernel thread, mirroring the current
context switch behaviour.

If context switching happens during executing fpsimd_flush_thread(),
stale value in FPSIMD registers will be saved into current thread's
fpsimd_state by fpsimd_thread_switch(). That may cause invalid
initialization state for the new process, so disable preemption
when executing fpsimd_flush_thread().

Add <asm/neon.h> containing kernel_neon_begin/kernel_neon_end function
declarations and corresponding definitions in fpsimd.c
These are needed to wrap uses of NEON in kernel mode. The names are
identical to the ones used in arm/ so code using intrinsics or
vectorized by GCC can be shared between arm and arm64.

This patch adds support for FP/ASIMD register bank saving and restoring
during context switch and FP exception handling to generate SIGFPE.
There are 32 128-bit registers and the context switching is currently
done non-lazily. Benchmarks on real hardware are required before
implementing lazy FP state saving/restoring.
