Applied this onto todays next tag next-20230608 and ran
kselftest-arm64 on a FVP model.
I still see the "BUG: KFENCE: memory corruption in
fpsimd_release_task+0x1c/0x3c".

I'm trying to use the latest kselftest from today with older next tags
trying to find when
this issue started to happen.

Cheers,
Anders
