Stable commit 23249dade24e ("KVM: arm64: Fix kernel BUG() due to bad backport of FPSIMD/SVE/SME fix") fixed a kernel BUG() caused by a bad backport of upstream commit fbc7e61195e2 ("KVM: arm64: Unconditionally save+flush host FPSIMD/SVE/SME state") by ensuring that softirqs are disabled/enabled across the fpsimd register save operation.
Unfortunately, although this fixes the original issue, it can now lead to deadlock when re-enabling softirqs causes pending softirqs to be handled with locks already held:

Take a tiny step towards the upstream fix in 9b19700e623f ("arm64: fpsimd: Drop unneeded 'busy' flag") by additionally disabling hardirqs while saving the fpsimd registers.
