This is causing build regressions on the arm64 selftests:

/arm64/fp/za-fork-asm.o -o /build/stage/build-work/kselftest/arm64/fp/za-fork
In file included from za-fork.c:12:
../../kselftest.h: In function ‘ksft_exit_fail_perror’:
../../kselftest.h:427:13: error: implicit declaration of function ‘vasprintf’; d
id you mean ‘vsprintf’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  427 |         if (vasprintf(&buf, msg, args) == -1) {
      |             ^~~~~~~~~
      |             vsprintf

This is because za-fork uses nolibc which does not implement
vasprintf().

I need to look at why this managed to pass the build testing I do in
-next...
