I'm not too big of a fan of scattering the initialization in various
places... Why can't we have a unified helper for priming cpu_fp_state once
we know what we're dealing with?

That can be called from either kvm_setup_vcpu() or kvm_vcpu_finalize_sve()
depending on whether userspace signed up for SVE or not.

Shouldn't we get rid of the fp_state local at this point? I'm pretty
sure a compiler would emit a warning here...
