Mark Brown 654c1dd350 arm64/fpsimd: Clear SME state in the target task when setting the VL
commit c9bb40b7f7 upstream.

When setting SME vector lengths we clear TIF_SME to reenable SME traps,
doing a reallocation of the backing storage on next use. We do this using
clear_thread_flag() which operates on the current thread, meaning that when
setting the vector length via ptrace we may both not force traps for the
target task and force a spurious flush of any SME state that the tracing
task may have.

Clear the flag in the target task.

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.

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.
