There's definitely a problem here, but a simpler fix is probably to NULL sve_state and clear TIF_SVE for dst at the same time.
Once upon a time, I had to cope with the thread_flags not being copied as part of task_struct here, which is one reason why the code is the (broken) way it is, but this is ancient history...
Commit c02433dd6de3 ("arm64: split thread_info from task stack") was merged in v4.10 and predates SVE support anyway.
So can just do the following (untested) and delete the confusing comments?
