s390/fpu: Fix false-positive kmsan report in fpu_vstl()
A false-positive kmsan report is detected when running ping command.
An inline assembly instruction 'vstl' can write varied amount of bytes depending on value of 'index' argument. If 'index' > 0, 'vstl' writes at least 2 bytes.
clang generates kmsan write helper call depending on inline assembly constraints. Constraints are evaluated compile-time, but value of 'index' argument is known only at runtime.
clang currently generates call to __msan_instrument_asm_store with 1 byte as size. Manually call kmsan function to indicate correct amount of bytes written and fix false-positive report.
This change fixes following kmsan reports:
