Alternate macro mode is not a property of a macro definition, but a
gas runtime state that alters the way macros are expanded for ever
after (until .noaltmacro is seen).
This means that subsequent assembly code that calls other macros can
break if fpsimdmacros.h is included.
Since these instruction sequences are simple (if dull -- but in a
good way), this patch solves the problem by simply expanding the
.irp loops. The pre-existing fpsimd_{save,restore} macros weren't
rolled with .irp anyway and the sequences affected are short, so
this change restores consistency at little cost.

Writing to the FPCR is commonly implemented as a self-synchronising
operation in the CPU, so avoid writing to the register when the saved
value matches that in the hardware already.

This patch modifies kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end(), so
they may be called from any context. To address the case where only
a couple of registers are needed, kernel_neon_begin_partial(u32) is
introduced which takes as a parameter the number of bottom 'n' NEON
q-registers required. To mark the end of such a partial section, the
regular kernel_neon_end() should be used.

In order to be able to reuse the save-restore code in KVM, move
it to a pair of macros, similar to what the 32bit code does.
