arm64 FPSIMD buffer on-stack for 6.19
Note: this is more of a core arm64 change. However, I was asked to take this because most uses of kernel-mode FPSIMD are in crypto or CRC code. There were also conflicts with lib/crypto/ changes this cycle, which I resolved. But as a result, this depends on the pull request "Crypto library updates for 6.19". So that one needs to be merged first.
The following changes since commit 2dbb6f4a25d38fcf7d6c1c682e45a13e6bbe9562:

Merge tag 'arm64-fpsimd-on-stack-for-v6.19' into libcrypto-fpsimd-on-stack (2025-11-12 10:15:07 -0800)
----------------------------------------------------------------
In v6.8, the size of task_struct on arm64 increased by 528 bytes due to the new 'kernel_fpsimd_state' field. This field was added to allow kernel-mode FPSIMD code to be preempted.
Unfortunately, 528 bytes is kind of a lot for task_struct. This regression in the task_struct size was noticed and reported.
Recover that space by making this state be allocated on the stack at the beginning of each kernel-mode FPSIMD section.
To make it easier for all the users of kernel-mode FPSIMD to do that correctly, introduce and use a 'scoped_ksimd' abstraction.
