arm64/sve: Avoid dereference of dead task_struct in KVM guest entry

When deciding whether to invalidate FPSIMD state cached in the cpu,
the backend function sve_flush_cpu_state() attempts to dereference
__this_cpu_read(fpsimd_last_state).  However, this is not safe:
there is no guarantee that this task_struct pointer is still valid,
because the task could have exited in the meantime.

This means that we need another means to get the appropriate value
of TIF_SVE for the associated task.

This patch solves this issue by adding a cached copy of the TIF_SVE
flag in fpsimd_last_state, which we can check without dereferencing
the task pointer.

In particular, although this patch is not a KVM fix per se, this
means that this check is now done safely in the KVM world switch
path (which is currently the only user of this code).
