arm64/ptrace: Don't flush ZA/ZT storage when writing ZA via ptrace
When writing ZA we currently unconditionally flush the buffer used to store it as part of ensuring that it is allocated. Since this buffer is shared with ZT0 this means that a write to ZA when PSTATE.ZA is already set will corrupt the value of ZT0 on a SME2 system. Fix this by only flushing the backing storage if PSTATE.ZA was not previously set. This will mean that short or failed writes may leave stale data in the buffer, this seems as correct as our current behaviour and unlikely to be something that userspace will rely on.
