arm64: smccc: Support SMCCC v1.3 SVE register saving hint
SMCCC v1.2 requires that all SVE state be preserved over SMC calls which introduces substantial overhead in the common case where there is no SVE state in the registers. To avoid this SMCCC v1.3 introduces a flag which allows the caller to say that there is no state that needs to be preserved in the registers. Make use of this flag, setting it if the SMCCC version indicates support for it and the TIF_ flags indicate that there is no live SVE state in the registers, this avoids placing any constraints on when SMCCC calls can be done or triggering extra saving and reloading of SVE register state in the kernel. This would be straightforward enough except for the rather entertaining inline assembly we use to do SMCCC v1.1 calls to allow us to take advantage of the limited number of registers it clobbers. Deal with this by having a function which we call immediately before issuing the SMCCC call to make our checks and set the flag. Using alternatives the overhead if SVE is supported but not detected at runtime can be reduced to a single NOP.
