arm64/sve: Support vector length resetting for new processes
It's desirable to be able to reset the vector length to some sane
default for new processes, since the new binary and its libraries
may or may not be SVE-aware.
This patch tracks the desired post-exec vector length (if any) in a
new thread member sve_vl_onexec, and adds a new thread flag
TIF_SVE_VL_INHERIT to control whether to inherit or reset the
vector length. Currently these are inactive. Subsequent patches
will provide the capability to configure them.
