KVM: arm64: Avoid mistaken attempts to save SVE state for vcpus

Commit e6b673b ("KVM: arm64: Optimise FPSIMD handling to reduce
guest/host thrashing") uses fpsimd_save() to save the FPSIMD state
for a vcpu when scheduling the vcpu out.  However, currently
current's value of TIF_SVE is restored before calling fpsimd_save()
which means that fpsimd_save() may erroneously attempt to save SVE
state from the vcpu.  This enables current's vector state to be
polluted with guest data.  current->thread.sve_state may be
unallocated or not large enough, so this can also trigger a NULL
dereference or buffer overrun.

Instead of this, TIF_SVE should be configured properly for the
guest when calling fpsimd_save() with the vcpu context loaded.

This patch ensures this by delaying restoration of current's
TIF_SVE until after the call to fpsimd_save().
