arm64: flush FP/SIMD state correctly after execve()
commit 674c242c9323d3c293fc4f9a3a3a619fe3063290 upstream. When a task calls execve(), its FP/SIMD state is flushed so that none of the original program state is observeable by the incoming program. However, since this flushing consists of setting the in-memory copy of the FP/SIMD state to all zeroes, the CPU field is set to CPU 0 as well, which indicates to the lazy FP/SIMD preserve/restore code that the FP/SIMD state does not need to be reread from memory if the task is scheduled again on CPU 0 without any other tasks having entered userland (or used the FP/SIMD in kernel mode) on the same CPU in the mean time. If this happens, the FP/SIMD state of the old program will still be present in the registers when the new program starts. So set the CPU field to the invalid value of NR_CPUS when performing the flush, by calling fpsimd_flush_task_state().
