KVM: arm64: Treat ESR_EL2 as a 64-bit register

Browse source 
ESR_EL2 was defined as a 32-bit register in the initial release of the
ARM Architecture Manual for Armv8-A, and was later extended to 64 bits,
with bits [63:32] RES0. ARMv8.7 introduced FEAT_LS64, which makes use of
bits [36:32].

KVM treats ESR_EL1 as a 64-bit register when saving and restoring the
guest context, but ESR_EL2 is handled as a 32-bit register. Start
treating ESR_EL2 as a 64-bit register to allow KVM to make use of the
most significant 32 bits in the future.

The type chosen to represent ESR_EL2 is u64, as that is consistent with the
notation KVM overwhelmingly uses today (u32), and how the rest of the
registers are declared.
