4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com>

commit aeb1f39d814b2e21e5e5706a48834bfd553d0059 upstream.

This patch adds an explicit __reserved[] field to user_fpsimd_state
to replace what was previously unnamed padding.

This ensures that data in this region are propagated across
assignment rather than being left possibly uninitialised at the
destination.

Fixes: 60ffc30d5652 ("arm64: Exception handling")
