In preparation for optimising the way KVM manages switching the guest and host FPSIMD state, it is necessary to provide a means for code outside arch/arm64/kernel/fpsimd.c to restore the user trap configuration for SVE correctly for the current task. Rather than requiring external code to duplicate the maintenance explicitly, this patch moves the trap maintenenace to fpsimd_bind_to_cpu(), since it is logically part of the work of associating the current task with the cpu. Because fpsimd_bind_to_cpu() is rather a cryptic name to publish alongside fpsimd_bind_state_to_cpu(), the former function is renamed to fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu() to make its purpose more explicit. This patch makes appropriate changes to ensure that fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu() is always called alongside task_fpsimd_load(), so that the trap maintenance continues to be done in every situation where it was done prior to this patch. As a side-effect, the metadata updates done by fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu() now change from conditional to unconditional in the "already bound" case of sigreturn. This is harmless, and a couple of extra stores on this slow path will not impact performance. I consider this a reasonable price to pay for a slightly cleaner interface.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
