Always read the VFP regs in the arm64 fill_fpregs

Description

Always read the VFP regs in the arm64 fill_fpregs

The PCB_FP_STARTED is used to indicate that the current VFP context
has been used since either 1. the start of the thread, or 2. exiting
a kernel FP context.

When case 2 was added to the kernel this could cause incorrect results
to be returned when a thread exits the kernel FP context and fill_fpregs
is called before it has restored the VFP state, e.g. by trappin on a
userspace VFP instruction.

In both of the cases the base save area is still valid so reduce the
use of the PCB_FP_STARTED flag check to help decide if we need to
store the current threads VFP state.
