Mark Brown 5e992c638e selftests: arm64: Add stress tests for FPSMID and SVE context switching
Add programs sve-test and fpsimd-test which spin reading and writing to
the SVE and FPSIMD registers, verifying the operations they perform. The
intended use is to leave them running to stress the context switch code's
handling of these registers which isn't compatible with what kselftest
does so they're not integrated into the framework but there's no other
obvious testsuite where they fit so let's store them here.

These tests were written by Dave Martin and lightly adapted by me.

KSelfTest ARM64
===============

- These tests are arm64 specific and so not built or run but just skipped
  completely when env-variable ARCH is found to be different than 'arm64'
  and `uname -m` reports other than 'aarch64'.

- Holding true the above, ARM64 KSFT tests can be run within the KSelfTest
  framework using standard Linux top-level-makefile targets:

      $ make TARGETS=arm64 kselftest-clean
      $ make TARGETS=arm64 kselftest

      or

      $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=arm64 \
		INSTALL_PATH=<your-installation-path> install

      or, alternatively, only specific arm64/ subtargets can be picked:

      $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=arm64 ARM64_SUBTARGETS="tags signal" \
		INSTALL_PATH=<your-installation-path> install
