arm64: smccc: Remove broken support for SMCCCv1.3 SVE discard hint

SMCCCv1.3 added a hint bit which callers can set in an SMCCC function ID
(AKA "FID") to indicate that it is acceptable for the SMCCC
implementation to discard SVE and/or SME state over a specific SMCCC
call. The kernel support for using this hint is broken and SMCCC calls
may clobber the SVE and/or SME state of arbitrary tasks, though FPSIMD
state is unaffected.

The kernel support is intended to use the hint when there is no SVE or
SME state to save, and to do this it checks whether TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE
is set or TIF_SVE is clear in assembly code:

|        ldr     <flags>, [<current_task>, #TSK_TI_FLAGS]
|        tbnz    <flags>, #TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE, 1f   // Any live FP state?
|        tbnz    <flags>, #TIF_SVE, 2f               // Does that state include SVE?
|
| 1:     orr     <fid>, <fid>, ARM_SMCCC_1_3_SVE_HINT
| 2:
|        << SMCCC call using FID >>

This is not safe as-is:

(1) SMCCC calls can be made in a preemptible context and preemption can
    result in TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE being set or cleared at arbitrary
    points in time. Thus checking for TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE provides no
    guarantee.

(2) TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE only indicates that the live FP/SVE/SME state in
    the CPU does not belong to the current task, and does not indicate
    that clobbering this state is acceptable.

    When the live CPU state is clobbered it is necessary to update
    fpsimd_last_state.st to ensure that a subsequent context switch will
    reload FP/SVE/SME state from memory rather than consuming the
    clobbered state. This and the SMCCC call itself must happen in a
    critical section with preemption disabled to avoid races.

(3) Live SVE/SME state can exist with TIF_SVE clear (e.g. with only
    TIF_SME set), and checking TIF_SVE alone is insufficient.

Remove the broken support for the SMCCCv1.3 SVE saving hint. This is
effectively a revert of commits:

* cfa7ff959a78 ("arm64: smccc: Support SMCCC v1.3 SVE register saving hint")
* a7c3acca5380 ("arm64: smccc: Save lr before calling __arm_smccc_sve_check()")

... leaving behind the ARM_SMCCC_VERSION_1_3 and ARM_SMCCC_1_3_SVE_HINT
definitions, since these are simply definitions from the SMCCC
specification, and the latter is used in KVM via ARM_SMCCC_CALL_HINTS.

If we want to bring this back in future, we'll probably want to handle
this logic in C where we can use all the usual FPSIMD/SVE/SME helper
functions, and that'll likely require some rework of the SMCCC code
and/or its callers.
