Dave Martin cb84d11e16 arm64: neon: Remove support for nested or hardirq kernel-mode NEON
Support for kernel-mode NEON to be nested and/or used in hardirq
context adds significant complexity, and the benefits may be
marginal.  In practice, kernel-mode NEON is not used in hardirq
context, and is rarely used in softirq context (by certain mac80211
drivers).

This patch implements an arm64 may_use_simd() function to allow
clients to check whether kernel-mode NEON is usable in the current
context, and simplifies kernel_neon_{begin,end}() to handle only
saving of the task FPSIMD state (if any).  Without nesting, there
is no other state to save.

The partial fpsimd save/restore functions become redundant as a
result of these changes, so they are removed too.

The save/restore model is changed to operate directly on
task_struct without additional percpu storage.  This simplifies the
code and saves a bit of memory, but means that softirqs must now be
disabled when manipulating the task fpsimd state from task context:
correspondingly, preempt_{en,dis}sable() calls are upgraded to
local_bh_{en,dis}able() as appropriate.  fpsimd_thread_switch()
already runs with hardirqs disabled and so is already protected
from softirqs.

These changes should make it easier to support kernel-mode NEON in
the presence of the Scalable Vector extension in the future.
