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.
