arm64/fpsimd: ptrace: Mandate SVE payload for streaming-mode state
When a task has PSTATE.SM==1, reads of NT_ARM_SSVE are required to
always present a header with SVE_PT_REGS_SVE, and register data in SVE
format. Reads of NT_ARM_SSVE must never present register data in FPSIMD
format. Within the kernel, we always expect streaming SVE data to be
stored in SVE format.
Currently a user can write to NT_ARM_SSVE with a header presenting
SVE_PT_REGS_FPSIMD rather than SVE_PT_REGS_SVE, placing the task's
FPSIMD/SVE data into an invalid state.
To fix this we can either:
(a) Forbid such writes.
(b) Accept such writes, and immediately convert data into SVE format.
Take the simple option and forbid such writes.
