arm64/sve: Refactor user SVE trap maintenance for external use



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 wraps 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.
