Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64/signal: Don't assume that TIF_SVE means we saved
 SVE state

When we are in a syscall we will only save the FPSIMD subset even though
the task still has access to the full register set, and on context switch
we will only remove TIF_SVE when loading the register state. This means
that the signal handling code should not assume that TIF_SVE means that
the register state is stored in SVE format, it should instead check the
format that was recorded during save.

Fixes: 8c845e273104 ("arm64/sve: Leave SVE enabled on syscall if we don't context switch")
