Make sure the guest's ZCR_EL1 is saved before we save/flush the
state. This will be useful in later patches.

I _think_ fpsimd_save_and_flush_cpu_state() contains a RDVL instruction
to get at the vector length for sve_get_vl(), and this ends up reading from
ZCR_EL1. So I'm not sure it's save to move it like this.
