Subject: arm64/fpsimd: Clear SME state in the target task when setting the VL
From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit c9bb40b7f786662e33d71afe236442b0b61f0446 upstream.
When setting SME vector lengths we clear TIF_SME to reenable SME traps,
doing a reallocation of the backing storage on next use. We do this using
clear_thread_flag() which operates on the current thread, meaning that when
setting the vector length via ptrace we may both not force traps for the
target task and force a spurious flush of any SME state that the tracing
task may have.
Clear the flag in the target task.
