Subject: [PATCH] arm64/sve: Delay freeing memory in fpsimd_flush_thread()
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.15/older/patches-5.15.3-rt21.tar.xz

fpsimd_flush_thread() invokes kfree() via sve_free() within a preempt disabled
section which is not working on -RT.

Delay freeing of memory until preemption is enabled again.
